By using the commercially available ruthenium pincer complex (Ru-MACHO-BH) as a catalyst, the challenging direct hydrogenation of lactams and analogues has been successfully accomplished to deliver corresponding value-added amino alcohols in good-to-excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Remarkably, in addition to N-protected lactams, unprotected ones could also be readily reduced in the presence of a catalytic amount of weak base or even under neutral reaction conditions, which further highlights the broad substrate scope and the protocol efficiency.
