A Highly Efficient Catalyst for Selective Oxidative Scission of Olefins to Aldehydes: Abnormal-NHC–Ru(II) Complex in Oxidation Chemistry

The utility and selectivity of the catalyst [Ru­(COD)­(L1 )­Br2] (1) bearing a fused π-conjugated imidazo­[1,2-a]­[1,8]­naphthyridine-based abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene ligand L1 is demonstrated toward selective oxidation of CC bonds to aldehydes and CC bonds to α-diketones in an EtOAc/CH3CN/H2...

Summary:The utility and selectivity of the catalyst [Ru­(COD)­(L1 )­Br2] (1) bearing a fused π-conjugated imidazo­[1,2-a]­[1,8]­naphthyridine-based abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene ligand L1 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.
