Abstract:
Studies were conducted to determine the comparative efficacy of some potential hydrogen acceptors such as ethyl acetoacetate, benzal acetone and benzaldehyde to effect the oxidation of secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones with Raney nickel. All experiments were carried out at reflux temperature and ordinary Raney nickel was employed. Ethyl acetoacetate and benzal acetone were found more effective than benzaldehyde.
