Oppennauer oxidation
Viewed the thread aluminium isoproxide for Oppenauer oxidation, my question is.
Phenyl 2 propanol + acetone= P2P + 2 propanol ? is posible?
Note: Is chemical interest dont confuse with other things.Thanks.

Well, it isn't the usual way. Seems I've seen a similar procedure, somewhere. An equilibrium exists, but it is hard to take advantage of it.
The reductions, via isopropylalcohol, are usually driven to completion by distilling off acetone as formed. You propose to use the opposite approach.
Unfortunately, isopropyl alcohol is a higher boiler than acetone, so you are kinda swimming against the current. Acetone leaves the reaction medium
more rapidly than isopropyl alcohol, so it is had to get it to stick around long enough to do its job.

honestly I don't understand why everyone is so crazy about doing oppenauer when there are so many easier and high yielding ways.oppenauer is a
selective reaction to for the oxidation of sensitive alcohols such as conjugated alcohols ,or alcohols having other oxidisable groups,like amine.it is
not a reaction that should be applied for all oxidations
the stevens oxidation is a much better,high yielding(>90%) and extremely cheap wasy to get ketones from alcohols

Chapman-Stevens (hypochlorite) oxidation doesn't work well for P2P, because it is a methyl ketone, so haloform will be a side reaction on high ph, and
mono halogenation of ketone will be a side reaction on low ph.
H2O2 + PTC works well for water insoluble compounds, but Pyridine-chloroformate is easier.

that was the same thing I had said in the thienyl acetone thread,but sadly we both are wrong.there won't be haloform as the medium is acidic.I suggest
you read the paper.

It would be very good if you could tell ways to find OTC PTC.

it would be,if pyridine was easy to get.also pyridine is not cheap last time I checked,so don't suggest buying it.(Its also watched so I wouldn't
think of buying it either.)

Plenty of extremely common ones out there in sanitation.
