Hello
I have in the house alcohol 2-propanol and I want to Attend acetone I got to bring copper handle Old I had and you heating it until the redness and put the handle after being heated in the alcohol and find alcohol boiled until it stops boiling and turns copper black to red, "where I am as soon as the Increase of red copper on the fire prevail, "which shows a reaction, but I find that the resulting smell is still the smell of alcohol
what should i do?

The catalytic dehdrogenation of isopropanol to acetone requires, as I understand it, different reaction conditions. See this reference: http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~ceng403/gr1998/acetone.html

conditions of 2 bar and 350° C, is generally ac hieved. A molten salt stream will be used a heat source for the endothermic reaction:
So I can not prepare it at home
Thank you for your response, and excuse me if my words find some logical because I used Google Translate :)

That's alright, we like to help. That reference is really for a large scale application. Any other hear source would do, but still -- you need high temp, high pressure, and the ability to recycle nu-reacted isopropanol, while still pulling off acetone. Not an easy method.

thank you for your nice response :)
i was really need help because i am still amateur in chemistry and english
