19 - 057Ruthenium-Catalyzed Oxidation of Alkanes with tert-Butyl Hy-droperoxide and Peracetic Acid. — The two catalytic systemsRuCl2(PPh3)2–tBuOOH and Ru-C–AcOOH are found to oxidize alkanes highlyefficiently. The former system is suitable for the synthesis of aryl ketones,whereas the latter is preferable to the oxidation of aliphatic alkanes yielding ke-tones and alcohols. — (MURAHASHI, SHUN-ICHI; KOMIYA, NARUYOSHI;ODA, YOSHIAKI; KUWABARA, TOSHIYUKI; NAOTA, TAKESHI; J.
