An efficient and general method for ester hydrolysis on the surface of silica gel catalyzed by indium triiodide under microwave irradiation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087033

Carboxylic esters are hydrolyzed to the corresponding carboxylic acids in high yields through a simple microwave assisted operation on the surface of silica gel moistened with few drops of water in presence of indium triiodide.
