Showing papers on "Oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones published in 1978"


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the first example of a homogeneous catalytic oxidation of an amino-group was presented, where a trichloride was used to catalyze secondary alcohols to ketones, primary amines to nitriles, and 2-aminoalkanes to imines by O2.
Abstract: Ruthenium trichloride catalyses the homogeneous oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones, primary amines to nitriles, and 2-aminoalkanes to imines by O2; this is the first example of a homogeneous catalytic oxidation of an amino-group.
