1, 2-butanediol was used as raw material, stored in calcium carbonate, 2% chromium oxide and 1% nickel carbonate were added as catalysts, and 1-hydroxy-2-butanone was prepared in a fixed bed reactor at a high temperature of 200 ℃. The yield is 40% under the above conditions. Or CuO is used as catalyst to react at 180 ℃ with a yield of 45%. In addition, 1-hydroxy-2-butanone was prepared by light under the conditions of potassium bromate as oxidant, bromohydroic acid as catalyst, normal temperature or higher temperature, and the conversion rate was greater than 90%.
