- Metal-Free Direct Oxidation of Aldehydes to Esters Using TCCA
-
Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes are simply converted into esters by an efficient oxidative esterification carried out under mild conditions. The aldehydes are converted in situ into their corresponding acyl chlorides, which are then reacted with primary and secondary aliphatic, benzylic, allylic, and propargylic alcohols and phenols. A variety of esters are obtained in high yields.

- Paramagnetic ruthenium(III) complexes bearing O,O chelating ligands: Synthesis, spectra, molecular structure and electron transfer properties
-
Paramagnetic Ru(III) complexes of the type [RuX2(EPh 3)2(L)] (where X = Cl or Br; E = P or As; L = monobasic bidentate benzophenone ligand) have been synthesized from the reaction of ruthenium(III) precursors, viz. [RuX3(EPh3)3] (where X = Cl, E = P; X = Cl or Br, E = As) or [RuBr3(PPh 3)2(CH3OH)] and substituted hydroxy benzophenones in a 1:1 molar ratio in benzene under reflux for 6 h. The hydroxy benzophenone ligands behave as monoanionic bidentate O,O donors and coordinate to ruthenium through the phenolate oxygen and ketonic oxygen atoms, generating a six-membered chelate ring. The compositions of the complexes have been established by analytical and spectral (FT-IR, UV-Vis, EPR) and X-ray crystallography methods. The single crystal structure of the complex [RuCl 2(PPh3)2(L1)] (1) has been determined by X-ray crystallography and indicates the presence of a distorted octahedral geometry in these complexes. The magnetic moment values of the complexes are in the range 1.75-1.89 μB, which reveals the presence of one unpaired electron in the metal ion. EPR spectra of liquid samples at liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) show a rhombic distortion (g x ≠ gy ≠ gz) around the ruthenium ion. The complexes are redox active and display quasi-reversible oxidation and quasi-reversible reduction waves versus Ag/AgCl.
