Abstract

The combination of RuCl(PPh) and 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxyl (TEMPO) affords an efficient catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of a variety of primary and secondary alcohols, giving the corresponding aldehydes and ketones, in > 99 per cent selectivity in all cases. This interesting catalytic system is probably based on a hydridometal mechanism, involving a ‘RuH(PPh)’-species as the active catalyst. TEMPO acts as a hydrogen transfer mediator and is regenerated by oxygen.

  18. Typical procedure for the aerobic oxidation of octan-2-ol: octan-2-ol (15.0 mmol; 1.96 g), n-hexadecane (internal standard; 3.0 mmol; 0.69 g), RuCl2(PPh3)3 (0.225 mmol; 216 mg) and TEMPO (0.675 mmol; 106 mg) were dissolved in 30 ml of chlorobenzene, heated in a high-pressure reactor (10 bar) to 100°C under a continuous stream (10 ml min-1) of an oxygen-nitrogen mixture (8:92; v/v) and stirred for 7 hours. Octan-2-ol conversion and octan-2-one selectivity were determined using GC-analysis (50 m × 0.53 mm CP-Wax 52 CB column).

  21. Typical procedure for isolating the product: the reaction mixture was diluted with n-hexane (to remove ruthenium) and dried over MgSO4. The resulting mixture was filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The product was separated from chlorobenzene using Kugelrohr distillation.
