Water-soluble diruthenium complexes bearing acetate and carbonate bridges: highly efficient catalysts for aerobic oxidation of alcohols in water.
The aerobic oxidation of alcohols in water can be performed efficiently in the presence of a catalytic amount of the water-soluble diruthenium complex Ru2(micro-OAc)3(micro-CO3) under an atmospheric pressure (1 atm) of O2.
