Isopropanol can be oxidized to acetone. The reaction can be carried out using oxidizing agents such as chromic acid or potassium dichromate, or by dehydrogenating isopropanol over a heated copper catalyst:
(CH3)2CHOH → (CH3)2CO + H2 Isopropanol is frequently employed as a solvent and source of hydride in the Milwin–Pondorf–Wierley reduction and other transfer hydrogenation reactions, after which it is oxidized to acetone. Isopropanol can be converted to 2-bromopropane using phosphorus tribromide, or dehydrated with heated sulfuric acid to form propylene. |
