A straightforward catalytic alcohol oxidation procedure using the recently reported complex [RuCl(PPh3)2(3-phenylindenyl)] (1) with KHMDS as cocatalyst, in acetone as the oxidant, is reported. Complex 1 shows remarkable chemoselectivity in oxidizing secondary alcohols to ketones.

Easy as π: An unusual indenylidene to I·5- indenyl rearrangement of a ruthenium catalyst has been observed. The resulting complex is the formal decomposition product of an olefin metathesis precatalyst that displays exceptional activity in the
