TLDR
Most alcohols are oxidized to ketones in high yield and selectivity within 1-2 h, and the catalytic system tolerates a wide range of O(2) concentrations without being deactivated.

Mechanistic aspects of transition metal-catalyzed hydrogen transfer reactions.

TL;DR: In this tutorial review recent mechanistic studies on transition metal-catalyzed hydrogen transfer reactions are discussed and an important question is whether the substrate coordinates to the metal (inner-sphere hydrogen transfer) or if there is a direct concerted transfer of hydrogen from the metal to substrate (outer-spheres hydrogen transfer).

Hydroxyapatite-Supported Palladium Nanoclusters: A Highly Active Heterogeneous Catalyst for Selective Oxidation of Alcohols by Use of Molecular Oxygen

TL;DR: The present Pd catalyst does not require additives to complete the catalytic cycle, and the diameters of the generated Pd nanoclusters can be controlled upon acting on the alcohol substrates used.

Catalytic Oxidation of Organic Substrates by Molecular Oxygen and Hydrogen Peroxide by Multistep Electron Transfer : A Biomimetic Approach

TL;DR: The use of coupled catalytic systems with electron-transfer mediators usually facilitates the procedures by transporting the electrons from the catalyst to the oxidant along a low-energy pathway, thereby increasing the efficiency of the oxidation and thus complementing the direct oxidation reactions.

Prevention of undesirable isomerization during olefin metathesis.

TL;DR: 1,4-Benzoquinones have been found to prevent olefin isomerization of a number of allylic ethers and long-chain aliphatic alkenes during ruthenium-catalyzed Olefin metathesis reactions, and this mild, inexpensive, and effective method increases the synthetic utility of olefins via improvement of overall product yield and purity.

Asymmetric Catalysis by Architectural and Functional Molecular Engineering: Practical Chemo‐ and Stereoselective Hydrogenation of Ketones

TL;DR: The newly devised [RuCl(2)(phosphane)(2)(1,2-diamine)] complexes are excellent precatalysts for homogeneous hydrogenation of simple ketones which lack any functionality capable of interacting with the metal center.

Green, catalytic oxidation of alcohols in water

TL;DR: A water-soluble palladium(II) bathophenanthroline complex is a stable recyclable catalyst for the selective aerobic oxidation of a wide range of alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids in a biphasic water-alcohol system.

Efficient and Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols into Aldehydes and Ketones Using Ruthenium/TEMPO as the Catalytic System

TL;DR: The combination of RuCl2(PPh3)3 and TEMPO affords an efficient catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of a variety of primary and secondary alcohols, giving the corresponding aldehydes and ketones, in >99% selectivity in all cases.
