Abstract

The chemical oxidation of amino esters by high valent oxoruthenium porphyrins to give mixed ligated imino ester/amino ester ruthenium(II) porphyrin complexes is described. The same complexes were also obtained by anodic oxidation at a constant potential of the corresponding bis(amino ester) ruthenium(II) porphyrins. The electrochemical data were found consistent with a mechanism involving a Ru(IV) intermediate formed by disproportionation of a Ru(III) species.
