A series of new RuII-Schiff base complexes of containing Ph3P has been prepared and characterized. The complexes have been used as catalysts for the oxidation of alcohols in [EMIM]Cl ionic liquid–NaOCl system. Higher catalytic activity was found for RuL1. A plausible mechanism has been proposed.
Graphical AbstractRuthenium (II)-Schiff base complexes with triphenylphosphine were effective in the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols in ethyl–methyl–imidazolium ionic liquid medium in the presence of NaOCl.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideResearch Highlights►Short reaction time of 30 min. ►An approach towards green synthesis. ►A variety of alcohols were selectively oxidized to their corresponding carbonyl compounds.
