General description
Ruthenium(III) chloride is a chemical compound, that can be used as a mild Lewis acid catalyst for the acetalization of aldehydes, acetalization of alcohols, and conversion of ketoximes to amides. Additionally, it can also be used as a precursor to synthesize Ru nanoparticles.
Application
Ruthenium(III) chloride is used as a catalyst:
- In the synthesis of β‐amino alcohols by nucleophilic opening of epoxides with anilines.
- In the acetylation of varies of phenols, alcohols, thiols, and amines under mild conditions.
- In the synthesis of α‐aminonitriles by mixing aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanides.

We selected ruthenium (Ru) to improve the photocatalytic activity of a WO3/ZrO2 composite. The synthesized Ru/WO3/ZrO2 was then compared to a benchmark photocatalyst (S-TiO2) in terms of photocatalytic disinfection of raw surface waters collected from the Nile Delta region, Egypt.

Ruthenium-catalyzed site-specific C-H oxyfunctionalization of steroidal ethers with periodate or bromate as terminal oxidants in phosphate buffer provided the acid-sensitive C-16 hydroxy compounds in high yields. Phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) significantly inhibits formation of unwanted side products generated under more
