Ligand controlled switchable selectivity in ruthenium catalyzed aerobic oxidation of primary amines.
A ligand controlled catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of 1° amines to nitriles and imines has been developed where the varying π-acidic feature of BIAN versus phen in the frameworks of ruthenium catalysts facilitates switchable selectivity.
