The reaction of Raney nickel with a variety of functional groups was studied.Ethers, esters, and alkyl chlorides were found to be stable to Raney nickel in refluxing toluene; however, alcohols were found to be reactive.Primary alcohols were oxidized to aldehydes and the subsequently decarbonylated, secondary alcohols were oxidized to the corresponding ketone, and tertiary alcohols were deoxygenated.
