General References:

  1. The ability of perfluorinated solvents to solubilize gases, together with their unique phase properties, have been exploited in a system for oxidation of aldehydes to acids, sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones, and alkenes to epoxides. The reactions are carried out in the presence of dissolved O2, using a transition metal (Ru, Ni) catalyst with perfluorinated ligands, in a perfluoro(decahydronaphthalene)/toluene solvent mixture under monophasic conditions at 64°C. On cooling, phase separation takes place, enabling the product to be isolated from the toluene phase, and the catalyst system to be recycled in the fluorous phase: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 36, 1454 (1997).
