Abstract

A new ruthenium/dendrimer complex stabilized on the surface of silica-functionalized nano-magnetite was fabricated and well characterized. The nano-catalyst showed good activity in the synthesis of benzil derivatives via the oxidation of stilbenes with high turnover frequency (TOF) at room temperature. Moreover, the catalyst could also be reused up to fifteen times without any loss of its activity
