ChemInform Abstract: The Selective Oxidation of Primary Alcohols to Aldehydes by O2 Employing a Trinuclear Ruthenium Carboxylate Catalyst.
Abstract
The catalysts (I) are employed in the title reaction, selectively converting prim. alcohols to aldehydes and, more slowly, sec. alcohols to ketones (tert. alcohols are unreactive).
