  • The electrochemistry of Tetrapropylammonium Perruthenate, its role in the oxidation of primary alcohols and its potential for electrochemical recycling
    Electrochimica Acta, 2015
    Co-Authors: J. Lybaert, Bert U. W. Maes, K. Abbaspour Tehrani, K. De Wael
    Abstract:

    The search for strategies aiming at more sustainable (oxidation) reactions has led to the application of electrochemistry for recycling the spent catalyst. In this work, an electrochemical study of the Tetrapropylammonium Perruthenate catalyst (TPAP) and its activity towards a primary alcohol, n-butanol, has been carried out as well as a control study with tert-butanol. The redox chemistry of TPAP and the transition between the Perruthenate anion and ruthenium tetroxide in a non-aqueous solvent have been, for the first time, investigated in depth. The oxidation reaction of n-butanol in the presence of TPAP has been electrochemically elucidated by performing potentiostatic experiments and registration of the corresponding oxidation current. Furthermore, it was shown that, by applying a specific potential, the reoxidized TPAP is able to oxidize/convert the primary alcohol, paving the way for practical applications using TPAP in electrochemical synthesis. The conversion of n-butanol into n-butanal was proven by the use of GC-MS.

  • Tetrapropylammonium Perruthenate pr4n ruo4 tpap a catalytic oxidant for organic synthesis
    Synthesis, 1994
    Co-Authors: Steven V Ley, Joanne Norman, William P Griffith, Stephen P Marsden
    Abstract:

    This article reviews the oxidations of a wide range of molecules with Tetrapropylammonium Perruthenate including examples of both double oxidations and selective oxidations. Mechanistic studies are discussed and general experimental procedures are reported. In addition several interesting developments in the chemistry of this reagent are outlined, that is, heteroatom oxidation, cleavage reactions and also its use in sequential reaction processes. In order to present a complete picture examples of failed reactions have been included
