Nitroxyl → 2-Octanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask 125 μl (0.8 mmol) of the 2-octanol, 3.2 mg (8 μmol) of the product from example 1 and 2.86 ml NaOCl-solution (0.35M; 1.0 mmol; pH 9.1 with KHCO3) were added; the mixture was maintained at room temperature under vigorously stirring. After one hour the crude organic layer was analyzed using GC: 100% of 2-octanone was obtained as desired product. The catalyst was recovered by filtration of the crude reaction mixture.
