Abstract Acetone, the simplest ketone of abundant useful is produced from 2-propanol by oxidation with hexavalent Cr(VI) sluggishly under pseudo 1st order reaction condition. The rate is enhanced considerably using Ru(III) metal salt solution at ppm level as a catalyst. Additional rate enhancement, is obtained in SDS micellar media, is reflected in rapid reduction of peak height of absorbance curve of the oxidant Cr(VI) at λmax = 440 nm. The product, acetone is confirmed by IR spectrum of 2, 4- DNP derivative and 1H NMR study of acetone.
