title: Tetra-N-propylammonium perruthenate: a case study in catalyst recovery and re-use involving tetraalkylammonium salts.
abstract: The use of tetraalkylammonium salts or imidazolium ionic liquids in catalytic oxidations of alcohols with tetra-N-propylammonium perruthenate allows recovery and reuse of the oxidant; this concept may find application in the recovery of other homogenous catalysts.
