Popis: Tert-butyl-substituted tetramethylcyclopentadiene [C5HMe 4 Bu] was reacted with Ru3(CO)12 to prepare [(η5-C5Me 4 Bu)Ru(CO)(μ-CO)]2. The complex was characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex was investigated as a catalyst in the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in the presence of 2,2’,6,6’-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxide (TEMPO) as co-oxidant. The combination of [(η5-C5Me 4 Bu)Ru(CO)(μ-CO)]2 and TEMPO afforded an efficient catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of a variety of primary and secondary alcohols, giving the corresponding carbonyl compounds in good-to-excellent yields.
