Oxygen → 2-Octanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In an ambient pressure oxygen atmosphere, 26.9 mg of 2-octanol and 35.3 mg of the platinum catalyst obtained in Example 1 were agitated for fifteen hours at 60° C. in 2 ml of water. The reaction mixture was subsequently extracted using ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was dried using magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to obtain 22.6 mg (85% yield) of 2-octanone. The reaction equation and the analytical results of the product are shown below.
