F. Vocanson et al., DIOXYGEN OXIDATION OF ALCOHOLS AND ALDEHYDES OVER A CERIUM DIOXIDE-RUTHENIUM SYSTEM, Synthetic communications, 28(14), 1998, pp. 2577-2582
Treatment of cerium dioxide with small amounts of RuCl3.3H(2)O allows
the mild preparation of an efficient heterogeneous system for the diox
ygen oxidation of various alcohols and aldehydes.
