The oxidation of alcohols with molecular oxygen is a promising approach to produce corresponding carbonyl compounds. In this work, efficient aerobic oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds catalyzed by ruthenium-terpyridine [(tpy-PhCH3)RuCl3] with isobutyraldehyde as co-substrate was developed....
