AbstractA series of new hexa-coordinated ruthenium(II) complexes of the type [Ru(CO)(EPh3)(B)(L)] (E = P or As; B = PPh3, AsPh3 or Py; L = chalcone thiosemicarbazone) have been prepared by reacting [RuHCl(CO)(EPh3)2(B)] (E = P or As; B = PPh3, AsPh3 or Py) with chalcone thiosemicarbazones in benzene under reflux. The new complexes have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, UV-vis, 1H, 31P and 13C NMR) methods. On the basis of data obtained, an octahedral structure was assigned for all of the complexes. The chalcone thiosemicarbazones behave as dianionic tridentate O, N, S donors and coordinate to ruthenium via the phenolic oxygen of chalcone, the imine nitrogen of thiosemicarbazone and thienol sulfur. The new complexes exhibit catalytic activity for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones and they were also found to be efficient catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds.

Alumina containing about 2.2% by weight of Na+ has been found to be an effective catalyst for the vapor phase reduction of carbonyl compounds by alcohols and for the reverse reaction, the oxidation of the alcohols by carbonyl compounds. The reduction of a number of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones by isopropyl alcohol and the oxidation of a number of primary and secondary alcohols by ketones like acetone and cyclohexanone are reported.

The 2-hydrazinopyridine precursor has been widely used to prepare ligands of various kinds by condensation with carbonyl compounds. These types of ligands are suitable for synthesizing novel transition metal (II) complexes with interesting magnetic properties. In this context we have synthesized the ligand 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl-2-ethylidene)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine (HL) which was used in the preparation of the mononuclear title complex, [Ni(C13H12N3O)(C13H13N3O)]NO3·0.5H2O. As a result of the presence of HL and L in the [{Ni(HL)(L)}]+ unit, the complex appears to be a supramolecular dimer composed of the Δ(−) and Λ(−) optical isomers, which are linked by strong hydrogen-bonds. As well as the dimer generated by two mononuclear [{Ni(HL)(L)}]+ cations, the asymmetric unit also contains two nitrate anions and one water molecule. Each Ni atom is coordinated to two ligand molecules by a nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring, an imine nitrogen atom and a phenolic oxygen atom of one of the ligand molecules and a phenolate oxygen atom of the other organic molecules. The environment around the cation is a distorted octahedron. The basal planes are defined by the two nitrogen atoms of the pyridine rings and the two phenolic oxygen atoms of the ligand, the apical positions being occupied by the azomethine atoms. The O atoms of one of the nitrate ions are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.745 (9):0.255 (9) ratio. In the crystal, the dimers are linked by numerous hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework.

The present work addresses the development of an eco-friendly and cost-efficient protocol for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones by mechanical processing under air. Ball milling was shown to promote the quantitative conversion of a broad set of alcohols into carbonyl compounds with no trace of an over-oxidation to carboxylic acids. The mechanochemical reaction exhibited higher yields and rates than the classical, homogeneous, TEMPO-based oxidation.

: Dess–Martin periodinane (DMP), is a commercially available chemical, frequently being utilized as a mild oxidative agent for the selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones, respectively. DMP shows several merits over other common oxidative agent such as chromium- and DMSO-based oxidants, thus it is habitually employed in the total synthesis of natural products. In this review, we try to underscore the applications of DMP as an effective oxidant in an appropriate step (steps) in the multistep total synthesis of natural products.
