General description

Hydroxyacetone (Acetol) is important for the manufacture of polyols, acrolein, dyes and skin tanning agents. It undergoes asymmetric reduction to yield (R)-1,2-propanediol in the presence of microbial cell catalyst.

Application

Hydroxyacetone was used to study aerobic oxidation of glycerol and propanediol over metal oxide supported gold nanoparticles in methanol.

The influence of boron, tungsten and molybdenum modifiers on zirconia-based Pt catalyst was studied for glycerol valorization. Zirconia modified supports were prepared by impregnation of ZrO₂ with either boric, silicontungstic or phosphomolybdic acids to obtain supports with enhanced Brönsted acidic
