Potassium perruthenate, also known as potassium ruthenate(VII), is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KRuO4. It is a dark purple, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Potassium perruthenate is a powerful oxidizing agent and is used in organic synthesis and laboratory procedures. Potassium perruthenate is stable at room temperature and under normal conditions. However, it should be handled with care due to its oxidizing properties. Potassium perruthenate is a strong oxidizing agent, capable of oxidizing various organic compounds, such as alcohols, aldehydes, and sulfides, to their corresponding higher oxidation states. It is widely used in organic synthesis for the oxidation of various functional groups. It can also be employed in catalytic reactions, such as oxidations and oxidative rearrangements.
