Popis: Amines and alcohols are important classes of building blocks in organic synthesis. The synthesis of these compounds has been a topic of interest. A straightforward method for their synthesis is the reduction of esters and amides to alcohols and amines, respectively. Various transition-metal catalysts have been developed for the homogeneous hydrogenation of esters and amides to alcohols and amines. In this review, an overview of the ruthenium-catalyzed selective hydrogenation of esters and amides is provided.1 General Introduction2 Ru-Catalyzed Reduction of Esters3 Ru-Catalyzed Selective Reduction of Amides4 Conclusions
