Abstract
A new heterogeneous ruthenium-copper-hydrotalcite catalyst for the efficien t and selective conversion of a variety of aliphatic, allylic and aromatic alcohols to either aldehydes or ketones is described. Suitable co-oxidants include iodosylbenzene, tetrabutyl ammonium periodate and, depending on sub strate, oxygen.
