Highly efficient use of NaOCl in the Ru-catalysed oxidation of aliphatic ethers to esters

Abstract

The selectivity of α-oxidation of ethers to esters via Ru–NaOCl can be dramatically improved by pH control, at high substrate to catalyst ratios using a stoichiometric amount of hypochlorite in biphasic media at room temperature.
