Abstract
Though many reports describe trinuclear ruthenium carboxylates as catalysts, none of these systems utilize dioxygen as the primary oxidant. The authors have found Ru/sub 3/O(O/sub 2/CR)/sub 6/L/sub 3//sup n/ (R = CH/sub 3/ or C/sub 2/H/sub 5/; L = H/sub 2/O or PPh/sub 3/; n = 0, + 1) to be an efficient catalyst for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones by O/sub 2/ under mild conditions.
