A quantitative NMR protocol has been developed to study the ruthenium‐ion‐catalyzed oxidation of a range of alkylated polyaromatics, as reported by S. H. Taylor et al. in their Full Paper on page 4285 ff. RuO 4 acts as a very selective catalyst, targeting the oxidation of aromatic carbon in preference to aliphatic carbon in alkyl‐substituted polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
