A stable ruthenium(V) oxo complex. X-Ray crystal structure and oxidising properties of tetra-n-propylammonium bis-2-hydroxy-2-ethylbutyrato(oxo)-ruthenate(V)

Abstract

The title complex, made from [Prn4N][RuO4] and 2-hydroxy-2-ethylbutyric acid, contains a distorted trigonal bipyramidal anion with a short Ru[double bond, length as m-dash]O equatorial bond (1.687 Å) and functions as a mild oxidant towards alcohols giving carbonyl compounds; such oxidations are catalytic with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide.
