An easily synthesized water‐soluble ruthenium complex, [C6H5CH2N(CH3)2H]2[Ru(dipic)Cl3] (dipic =2,6‐pyridinedicarboxylate), as a catalyst showed high efficiency in the oxidation of alkanes and secondary alcohols to their corresponding ketones under solvent‐free and low‐catalyst‐loading conditions. This catalytic system could tolerate a variety of substrates and gave the corresponding ketones in good to excellent yields. The products were easily separated and purified due to the water solubility of the ruthenium complex.
