M. Bressan et al., EFFECTIVE RUTHENIUM-CATALYZED OXIDATION OF CHLORINATED OLEFINS BY MONOPERSULFATE IN AQUEOUS-MEDIUM, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (3), 1994, pp. 253-254
In aqueous medium, in the presence of a surfactant agent and of cataly
tic amounts of ruthenium derivatives, monopersulfate effectively oxidi
zes alpha-chlorinated olefins to hydrochloric acid and the appropriate
carboxylic acid and/or carbon dioxide, with rates in excess of 100 tu
rnover min(-1) at room temperature.
