Ruthenium Tetroxide Oxidation of Alkenes. A More Complete Picture

The ruthenium tetroxide oxidation of some linear and cyclic alkenes, representatives of five substitution patterns, has been performed in acetone-water (5:1) solution at -70 deg C using stoichiometric ammounts of the oxidant.The main reaction products are 1,2-diols and/or α-ketols depending on the nature of the substrate little amounts of scission products, aldehydes and/or carboxylic acids, are also obtained.Generally 1,2-diols predominate over α-ketols except in the oxidation of (-)-α-pinene that afforded the α-ketol in 51percent yield while no trace of the corresponding 1,2-diol was detected.All reactions prceeded through the formation of unstable brownish precipitates, presumably the intermediate ruthenium (VI) esters, which easily decomposed during the work-up step.Results from oxidation of trans-7-tetradecene and cis and trans-11-tetradecenyl acetate indicated that the reaction was syn stereospecific.In some cases, 1,3-dioxolane products, formed by condensation of the 1,2-diol and the aldehyde materials, were also obtained among the reaction products.Their possible origin is briefly discussed.
