Abstract

A heterogeneous ruthenium catalyst, easily prepared by adsorption of [RuCl2 (p-cymene)] 2 on activated carbon, exhibited a highly efficient and selective catalytic activity in various environmentally attractive transformations such as aerobic oxidation, hydrolytic oxidation, and dehydration processes with excellent recyclability.
