Abstract

Selective oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone was carried out in a RuCl3-pyridine-acetic acid-KHSO5 mixture. This system yields 2.8% of cyclohexanone (based on ‘oxone’ concentration) under the conditions employed. Mechanistic postulate for the oxidation reaction involves the formation of a carbene intermediate (Ru=C) prior to the ketone formation.
