Numerous synthetic protocols for producing syn-diols from the corresponding alkenes have
been developed and published over recent years. It is the intent of the following tutorial …

The oxidative cleavage of the CC double bond in unsaturated fatty acids into aldehydes or
carboxylic acids is a reaction of current interest in biomass valorization. The products of this …

An emerging interest for the application of periodate in the synthesis of active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and for the valorization of renewable feedstock is …

Abstract Oxidative ruthenium catalysis (0.07 molequiv RuCl3·(H2o) 3, 1.5 molequiv NaIO4,
EtOAc/CH3CH3CN/H2O 3: 3: 1), beyond the usual C C bond cleavage to give dicarbonyls …

In the last years ruthenium tetroxide is increasingly being used in organic synthesis. Thanks
to the fine tuning of the reaction conditions, including pH control of the medium and the use …

The simple fullerene diols C60 (OH) 2 and C70 (OH) 2 were prepared by addition of RuO4
followed by acid hydrolysis. The 1, 2-C60 (OH) 2 isomer was formed from C60, and two …

A one‐pot method has been developed for the oxidative cleavage of internal alkenes into
aldehydes by using 0.5 mol% of the nonheme iron complex [Fe (OTf) 2 (mix‐bpbp)](bpbp …

A new route to 24-nortriterpene derivatives with 2-hydroxy-Δ1, 4-cyclohexadien-3-one A-
rings from triterpene precursors has been demonstrated beginning with betulin to prepare …

Since its introduction into organic chemistry more than fifty years ago, RuO 4 has been used
mainly as a strong oxidizing agent. Owing to its high reactivity, catalytic reactions employing …

Quantum chemical calculations using gradient-corrected (B3LYP) density functional theory
have been carried out to investigate the mechanism of the oxidative cleavage of alkenes by …
