Chemistry Asked by Khaliddhali on October 1, 2020
What would be the probable reaction between acetone, $ce{(CH3)2CO}$, and isopropyl alcohol, $ce{CH3CHOHCH3}$, at room temperature without any catalyst in different concentrations?
Obviously these liquids do not react with each other. But they can be interconverted. Isopropanol can be converted to acetone simply by heating over a copper catalyst (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_alcohol). And as many readers know, sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride reduces acetone to isopropanol (https://www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/carbonyls/reduction.html).

I've used acetone/ipa mix to flush chromatography columns. There is no reaction between them without another reagent present

I mix rubbing alcohol and acetone together to clean flux off of stained glass that I have soldered. Nothing happens when you mix them.
