Look for posts from the username two dogs its caslled"new method for P2P", and its not theory.

The easy way:

Phenyl-2-Nitropropene (P2NP) from Benzaldehyde

(https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/phenyl-2-nitropropene.html)

Phenyl-2-Propanone (P2P) from Phenyl-2-Nitropropene (P2NP)

(https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/phenylacetone.html#p2np)

The high-tech way:

Phenyl-2-Propanone (P2P) from Benzaldehyde and a Phosphonium Ylide (Wittig reaction)

And biosynthetically

Then benzylic -OH reduction to P2P.
