✦ Synopsis

Comparison of KF and NaF impregnated on active alumina shows that the formation of strong base by fluoride reaction with alumina cannot totally explain the extremely high reactivity of KF-alumina as a heterogeneous base for catalytic as well as non-catalytic reactions. At least three mechanisms apparently give rise to the high basicity.
