The oxidation of cyclobutanol by ruthenium tetroxide and sodium ruthenate

Abstract: The only detectable product obtained from the oxidation of cyclobutanol by ruthenium tetroxide or sodium ruthenate is cyclobutanone. This indicates that both of these reagents act as two-electron transfer oxidants and that the oxidation of alcohols by ruthenium tetroxide likely proceeds via a mechanism that involves a pair of successive two-electron transfer steps.

“…Consequently, the rates of reaction were usually determined by following the increase in absorbance at 320 nm as the reaction progressed. This approach, based on the assumption that the rate of formation of RuO, is equal to the rate of disappearance of Ruo4*-, is consistent with previous work which indicated ruthenate is a two-electron oxidant (15). Both kinetic methods gave very similar values for the rate constants.…”

“…Although these authors did not speculate on a possible structure for the intermediate, it seems clear from the aforementioned theoretical calculations that their "complex" is likely the adduct, 1. Since the 0x0-ruthenium species formed in reaction [15] ( H R u O~~-) is in the reactive 5+ oxidation state, a subsequent single electron transfer (reaction [16]) would probably occur before the radical could diffuse out of the solvent cage.…”

“…with all of the experimental evidence is available if 9 is assumed to be a cyclic ruthenate(V1) diester formed by the oxidation of 7. Such a two-electron transfer reaction is consistent with the known properties of ruthenate under these conditions (15). Furthermore, it would not be unreasonable to observe a large rate constant for such a reaction; many similar electron transfer processes between transition metal oxyanions are known to occur rapidly (16).…”

“…Hence it appears as if the reaction likely involves an initial addition of the oxidant to the double bond, giving a ruthenium(V) cyclic diester, 10, as in eq. [15]. However, since there was no indication of the formation of inorganic products other than RUO$-the intermediate, 10, must undergo a subsequent reaction leading to the formation of ruthenate.…”
