Sulfuric acid adsorbed on silica gel. A multipurpose acid catalyst

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408019058

A series of acid catalyzed reactions like the dehydration of alcohols, conversion of ketones to 1,3-dioxolanes and their hydrolysis, α, β- unsaturated ketones to enol ethers, and alcohols to methyl-methoxyethyl ethers are performed efficiently in high yield with sulfuric acid adsorbed on silica gel as catalyst.
