Abstract

The polypyridylruthenium(II) complex, cis-[Ru(2,9-Me2phen)2(OH2)2]2+, is a highly efficient catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl products in water using sodium bromate (NaBrO3) as the terminal oxidant. Excellent conversions and yields are readily achieved at room temperature.
