Acetone --(CH3COCH3) can be converted to Isopropyl alcohol,CH3CH(OH)CH3 ,by adding Hydrogen (H2), which breaks the carbon-oxygen double bond(C=O) and makes one -H and one ----OH bond.
CH3COCH3+H2 = CH3CH(OH)CH3
This alcohol product can be treated with ammonia (NH3) at high temperature to form isopropyl amine, CH3CH(NH2)CH3
CH3CH(OH)CH3+NH3 = CH3CH(NH2)CH3 +H2O
