Abstract

The oxidation of 2-propanol and cyclobutanol by stoichiometric amounts of sodium ruthenate has been studied. Contrary to previously published speculations, it has been found that these reactions are not initiated by traces of perruthenate present as a contaminant in the ruthenate solutions. This conclusion is supported by both the kinetic rate law for the reaction and the products obtained from the oxidation of alcohols that would be expected to react differently with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].
