HYDRIDE TRANSFER PROCESS FOR KETONE PREPARATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a hydride transfer process within a reaction between an alcohol and a ketone and in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst. The simplified process according to the invention transfers a hydride from an alcohol to a ketone, thus enabling the reduction of the ketone and the oxidation of the alcohol. In particular, the invention relates to a simplified process for the simultaneous preparation of cyclohexanone and isopropanol enabling an excellent, very significantly optimized industrial operation. The invention also relates to a mixture of compounds useful for implementing the process according to the invention and comprising two different ketones and two different alcohols.
