Aromatic and alkyl alcohols were oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones at room temperature with high conversion and selectivity using Oxone^® (2KHSO₅·KHSO₄·K₂SO₄) as oxidant catalyzed by ruthenium complex Quin-Ru-Quin (where Quin=8-hydroxyquinoline). The reaction time is very short and the preparation of complex is simple.
