K. Mori et al., Catalysis of a hydroxyapatite-bound Ru complex: efficient heterogeneous oxidation of primary amines to nitriles in the presence of molecular oxygen, CHEM COMMUN, (5), 2001, pp. 461-462
A hydroxyapatite-bound Ru complex could efficiently catalyze the aerobic ox
idation of various primary amines to nitriles which were further hydrated t
o amides in the presence of water.
