The aerobic oxidation of cyclohexene catalyzed by phosphine-ruthenium(IV)-oxo complexes and the analogous phosphine-ruthenium(II)-aquo complexes is reported. Kinetic studies showed that the rate of oxidation was dependent upon both catalyst and cyclohexene concentrations; however, the rate of product formation from the oxidation was independent of oxygen pressure over the range 1-30 atm. The values measured for the thermodynamic parameters of the system are consistent with the proposal of the phosphine-ruthenium(IV)-oxo species as the active oxidizing agent. 52 references, 1 figure, 1 table.
