Abstract
Ruthenium(II) perchlorate complexes, [Ru(dppm)(3)(ClO4)]ClO4, 1, Ru(dp pe)(3)(ClO4)]ClO4, 2, [Ru(dpae)(3)(ClO4)]ClO4, 3, catalyse the oxidati on of cyclohexene in the presence of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) under homogeneous liquid phase. The products of oxidation are 2-cyclohexen-1 -ol and 2-cyclohexenone. Linear alkenes like 1-heptene and 1-octene ar e not efficiently oxidised under these conditions. Solvent influences the rate of oxidation considerably. N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMO) a nd CHP are compared for their oxidising ability. (C) 1997 Elsevier Sci ence B.V.
