RuCl3-DCHA Catalyst System: A Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Primary Benzylic Alcohols Under Mild Conditions

The aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes was performed in a RuCl 3  · 3H 2 O-dicyclohexylamine (DCHA) catalyst system under ambient atmosphere at room temperature. It is noteworthy that the RuCl 3  · 3H 2 O-DCHA system displayed a preference for the primary versus...

Summary:The aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes was performed in a RuCl 3  · 3H 2 O-dicyclohexylamine (DCHA) catalyst system under ambient atmosphere at room temperature. It is noteworthy that the RuCl 3  · 3H 2 O-DCHA system displayed a preference for the primary versus secondary benzylic alcohols in both intermolecular and intramolecular competition experiments.
