Procedure
The preparation of ketones by the dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols in the liquid phase using a copper chromite catalyst is described by D. D. Nanvati, J. Ind. Chem. Soc 51 (5), 551-2 (1974). The products are recovered by filtration and subsequent purification by distillation. An almost quantitative yield of 2-octanone was obtained from 2-octanol.
