C. Morice et al., OXIDATION OF AMINO ESTERS TO IMINE COMPLEXES WITH CHIRAL HIGH-VALENT OXORUTHENIUM PORPHYRINS, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 273(1-2), 1998, pp. 142-150
The chemical oxidation of amino esters by high valent oxoruthenium por
phyrins to give mixed ligated imino ester/amino ester ruthenium( II) p
orphyrin complexes is described. The same complexes were also obtained
by anodic oxidation at a constant potential of the corresponding bis(
amino ester) ruthenium(II) porphyrins. The electrochemical data were f
ound consistent with a mechanism involving a Ru(IV) intermediate forme
d by disproportionation of a Ru(III) species. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scienc
