Dinitrogen oxide was employed as a clean oxidant for various oxidations in the presence of a catalytic amount of dioxoruthenium tetramesitylporphyrin complex (Ru(tmo)(O) 2 ). A variety of olefins, secondary alcohols, and benzyl alcohols were smoothly oxidized to the corresponding epoxides, ketones, and aldehydes in high yields. In the oxidation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene derivatives, the competitive

Secondary and tertiary alcohols are efficiently dehydrated by reaction with p-toluenesulfonic acid supported on silica gel. In particular, the procedure allows the direct conversion of 3-hydroxy-steroids into Î2-olefins or Î3,5-dienes, without passing through the mesylate or tosylate esters.
