The bmpi (1,3-bis(6′-methyl-2′-pyridylimino)isoindoline) pincer Ru(II) hydride complex catalyzes base-free, acceptorless, and chemoselective dehydrogenation of alcohols with liberation of dihydrogen under moderate (120 C) conditions. Primary alcohols and diols are converted to ester and lactone products with high conversion efficiencies. The catalyst system is remarkably selective for the oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols.
