A new tetradentate ruthenium complex has been developed for hydrogenation of esters. The catalyst's structure features a pyridinemethanamino group and three tight chelating five-membered rings. The structure character is believed to be responsible for its high stability and high carbonylation-resistant properties. Thus, this catalyst shows outstanding performance in the catalytic hydrogenation of a variety of esters, especially for fatty acid esters, which may be used in practical applications. New insight on designing hydrogenation catalyst for reducing esters to alcohols has been provided through theoretical calculations.
