Nitroxyl → 2-Octanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask 0.072 g (0.05 mmol) of the product from example 1, 2.5 g (19.2 mmol) of 2-octanol, 10 ml of toluene and 2.8 gr of KHCO3 (20% sol.) were added; the heterogeneous mixture was cooled to 10–15° C. then were added 13.2 g of an aqueous solution of NaOCl (10.5%). After 2 hours the crude organic layer was analyzed using GC and 1H-13C-NMR and 100% of 2-octanone was obtained as desired product. The catalyst was recovered by filtration of the crude reaction mixture.
