Cotton, 5th Ed.
Ru complexes are generally characterized as
having high electron transfer ability, high Lewis
acidity, low redox potentials, and the ability to
stabilize reactive species such as oxometals,
metallacycles, and metal carbene complexes.
The wide range of oxidation states, coordination
geometries, and tunable properties result in the
ability of Ru complexes to catalyze a remarkable
range of chemical transformations

RuO4 (RuVIII, d0) is a powerful, nonselective oxidant.
Perruthenate ion, [RuO4]- (RuVII, d1) is a milder oxidant
though it will still cleave some C=C bonds. Disproportionates
in aqueous solution below pH = 8.
Salts of the anion with large, organic cations are soluble in
organic solvents and are much milder and selective oxidants.
The tetrapropylammonium salt is the easiest to prepare.

Water retards catalyst turnover so mol sieves are required
Although [RuO4]- is an overall 3e- oxidant, studies suggest
the oxidation process is of the 2e- type.

Conclusions
Ruthenium catalyzes a tremendous range of organic transformations including hydrogenation of olefins, carbonyls, and imines;
hydrogen transfer reactions; oxidation of olefins, alcohols, lactols, amines, amides, aromatics, and unactivated C-H bonds;
epoxidations; olefin isomerizations; heteroatom addition to alkynes and nitriles; C-H activation; olefin metathesis and ene-yne
metathesis; metallacycle formation; Pauson-Khand reactions; nucleophilic and electrophilic allylic substitutions; radical reactions;
and cyclopropanations among others.
The field is relatively new and rapidly developing, especially in the area of C-C bond forming reactions. 50% of the articles
sited in Trost, Chem. Rev., 2001, 2067 were published in 1997 or after.
Ruthenium catalyzed chemistry promises to be an area of continuing development through the investigation of catalyst structure
and the recognition and utilization of mechanistic intermediates.
