Abstract

2,6-Bis(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-3-yl)pyridines (3, 4) were used for the first time as ligand in ruthenium catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone. The in situ prepared three-component system Ru(II)/tridentate triamine ligands (3a-3d, 4a-4d) and KOH catalysed the transfer hydrogenation reaction of acetophenone in good yields under mild conditions.
