title: A highly efficient catalyst for selective oxidative scission of olefins to aldehydes: abnormal-NHC-Ru(II) complex in oxidation chemistry.
abstract: The utility and selectivity of the catalyst [Ru(COD)(L(1))Br2] (1) bearing a fused π-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine-based abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene ligand L(1) is demonstrated toward selective oxidation of C═C bonds to aldehydes and C≡C bonds to α-diketones in an EtOAc/CH3CN/H2O solvent mixture at room temperature using a wide range of substrates, including highly functionalized sugar- and amino acid-derived compounds.
