Selective catalytic oxidation of alcohols by a ruthenium-copper bifunctional system using molecular oxygen

Coleman, KS; Lorber, CY; Osborn, JA

Abstract

The oxidation of allylic and benzylic alcohols to aldehydes can be carried out at room temperature with molecular oxygen, in the presence of the bifunctional ruthenium-copper system (nPr(4)N)(RuO4)-CuCl acting as the catalyst.
