Conditions: reactions were carried out at 80 ◦C using 3.75 mmol of ketone (10 cm3 isopropanol); catalyst/ketone/KOH ratio 1:300:2.5.
Yield of product was determined using a ACME 6000 series GC-FID with a DP-5 column of 30 m length, 0.53 mm diameter and 5.00 m film thickness and by comparison

Several new ruthenium(II) chalconate complexes were synthe-
sized using chalconate formed from derivatives of benzaldehyde
and 1-acetyl-2-naphthol. The new complexes have been charac-
terized by analytical and spectral data. An octahedral structure
has been tentatively proposed for all the complexes. The com-
plexes showed efficient catalytic property for the oxidation
of both primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding
carbonyl compounds with excellent yields in the presence of N-
methylmorpholine-N-oxide, and also for transfer hydrogenation of
aliphatic and aromatic ketones with high conversions (>99%).
