Highly efficient aerobic oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols by a simple catalyst system of [RuCl_2(p-cymene)]_2/Cs_2CO_3

摘要

A new catalyst system of [RuCl_29p-cymene)]_2/Cs_2CO_3 has been disclosed for highly efficient aerobic oxidation of activated alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds, which is characterized by its high selectivity and activity, operational simplicity, adn low air and moisture sensitivity.
