Summary
Piano‐stool ([(p‐cymene)Ru(thz)Cl], 2) and six‐coordinated ([Ru(thz)2(PPh3)2], 3) ruthenium complexes derived from 2‐phenylthiazoline‐4‐carboxylic acid (Hthz, 1) were synthesized for the first time, and fully characterized using conventional methods. Also, the molecular structure of complex 3 was determined using X‐ray analysis. These complexes were evaluated as catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds in the presence of isopropyl alcohol and KOtBu. Complex 2 was found to be more active than 3 in transfer hydrogenation. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
