Oxygen → Acetophenone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In an ambient pressure oxygen atmosphere, 121 μl of 1-phenyl ethanol and 173.7 mg of the platinum catalyst obtained in Example 1 were agitated for twenty-four hours at 60° C. in 10 ml of water. The reaction mixture was subsequently extracted using ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was dried using magnesium sulfate and filtered to obtain 98.9 mg (82% yield) of acetophenone. The reaction equation and the analytical results of the product are shown below.
