The use of tetraalkylammonium salts or imidazolium ionic liquids in catalytic oxidations of alcohols with tetra-N-propylammonium perruthenate allows recovery and reuse of the oxidant; this concept may find application in the recovery of other homogenous catalysts.

The Ley-Griffith reaction is utilized extensively in the selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. The central catalyst is commercially available tetra--propylammonium perruthenate (TPAP, -PrN[RuO]) which is used in combination with the co-oxidant -methylmorpholine -oxide (NMO). Although this reaction has been employed for more than 30 years, the mechanism remains unknown.

The Ley-Griffith tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) catalyst has been widely deployed by the synthesis community, mainly for the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, but also for a variety of other synthetic transformations (e.g. diol cleavage, isomerizations, imine formation and heterocyclic synthesis).

In this work, ortho-C-N bond fusion reactions of aniline are followed by the use of two different ruthenium mediators. Reaction of aniline with [Ru(terpy)Cl] (terpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) resulted in a trans bis-aniline ruthenium(II) complex [1] which upon oxidation with HO produced compound [2] of a bidentate ligand, N-phenyl-1,2-benzoquinonediimine, due to an oxidative ortho-C-N bond fusion reaction. Complex [1] and aniline (neat) at 185 °C produced a bis-chelated ruthenium complex (3).

A non-hygroscopic tetraphenylborate salt of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMO) is reported (NMO⋅TPB), which modulates the standard Ley-Griffith oxidation such that benzylic and allylic alcohols are oxidised selectively. An attractive feature of this new protocol is that anhydrous conditions are not required for this selective tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) oxidation, superseding the requirement of molecular sieves.

Fluorinated organo-silica gels doped with tetra-n-propylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) are excellent catalysts for the aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohols in supercritical CO2 (scCO2). Their activity and stability are subtly dictated by structure, depending on the degree of fluorination and on the length of the fluoroalkyl chain linked to the silica network. Such dependence reflects the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance (HHB) of the matrix, as evaluated by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy.
