Abstract
Oxidation of cyclohexane and cyclohexanol with Ru(edta)(O) − was studied spectrophotometrically by following the disappearance of the oxo peak of the complex Ru V(edta)(O) − at constant pH 5.0. The reaction rate was found to be first order with respect to oxo complex. The rate of oxidation increases with increasing substrate concentration and reaches a limit at high substrate concentration. Rate and activation parameters are in accordance with the mechanism proposed for the oxygen atom transfer reaction from high-valent Ru V(edta)(O) − complexes to saturated hydrocarbons.
