Abstract

Hydrogenation of esters under mild conditions was achieved using air-stable ruthenium PN³-pincer complexes containing an aminophosphine arm. High efficiency was achieved even in the presence of water. DFT studies suggest a bimolecular proton shuttle mechanism which allows H₂ to be activated by the relatively stable catalyst with a reasonably low transition state barrier.
