Reaction Steps

Subsequent hydrogenation (H2 /Pd-C) yields the same saturated C-18 alcohol: ##STR22## Other methods used to oxidize 2° alcohol 9 "phytone" include: (a) aqueous NaOCl (bleach) in acetic acid; such conditions give >95% yield of 2-octanone from 2-octanol. See: J. Org. Chem., 45, 2030 (1980).
