Abstract
Ruthenium tetroxide generated in situ under the Sharpless conditions was applied to different hydrocarbons containing cyclopropane groups either spiroanellated or ring-fused. In all cases oxidation occurred exclusively at the positions α to the cyclopropyl group to give ketones. Ring cleavage was observed when such positions were tertiary.
