The Oxidation of 2-Propanol by Ruthenium Tetroxide

Abstract

The kinetics of the oxidation of 2-propanol by ruthenium tetroxide in aqueous perchloric acid solutions have been investigated. The results indicate that the two mechanisms pertain; at moderate acidities (1-6.5 M HCIO,) the rate determining step involves hydride abstraction while at very high acid concentrations the rate determining step becomes carbonium ion formation.Les cinktiques de I'oxydation du propanol-2 par le tktroxyde de ruthenium dans des solutions aqueuses d'acide perchlorique ont etC Btudites.

The oxidation of cyclobutanol by ruthenium tetroxide and sodium ruthenate

“…This is consistent with the previously proposed mechanism (4) in which it was suggested that the reaction between ruthenium tetroxide and an alcohol involves. initially, the transfer of a hydride ion as ill [3] and [4].…”

Molecular structure and magnetic properties of a novel Fe(III) tetranuclear complex containing oxo, alkoxo, and carbonato bridges

“…The magnitude of the antiferromagnetic interaction is surprisingly insensitive to the natures of the non-bridging ligands, Fe(III) coordination numbers, and Fe-O-Fe bridging angles. 3 The Fe2(OR)24+ binuclear systems (R = H, alkyl) are far more weakly coupled magnetically (-/ =…”

The oxidation of alcohols by sodium ruthenate

“…One factual error in the paper by Burke and Healy (1 1) which we have noted is found on page 1096 where they claim that Lee and van den Engh (24) have reported an isotope effect, k H / k o , of 4.6 for the oxidation of 2-propanol by perruthenate. No such report exists.…”
