was developed for the mild aerobic oxidative esterification of various
aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes. 51 The in situ activation of
Ru(TPFPP)(CO) [TPFPP ΒΌ tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin] (Equation 3.4)
with m-CPBA provided a ruthenium species capable of catalyzing the oxidation
of alcohols with molecular O 2 . 52

Based on the chemoselective aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols
catalyzed by Ru-salen complexes, 53 kinetic resolution of racemic secondary
alcohols 54 and desymmetrization of meso-diols 55 were realized by using a chiral
(nitrosyl)ruthenium(salen) complex under photo-irradiation (Scheme 3.2). 56
