Shape-selective oxidation of primary alcohols using perruthenate-containing zeolites.
Potassium perruthenate (KRuO4), a known, effective oxidant for the conversion of primary and secondary alcohols into carbonyl compounds is impregnated into zeolite X and shown to be a shape-selective oxidant using benzyl alcohol (reacted) and pyrenemethanol (not reacted).
