Kinetic Study of Ruthenium(III)-catalysed Oxidation of 2-Methylpentane-2,4-diol by Alkaline Hexacyanoferrate(III)
Abstract
A concerted hydrogen-atom transfer one-electron transfer mechanism is proposed for the ruthenium(III)-catalysed oxidation of 2-methylpentane-2,4-diol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III).
