A dicationic dichloro‐bipyridine‐ruthenium complex shows very high catalytic activity in redox isomerization of allylic alcohols but a relatively low one in transfer hydrogenation of ketones; surprisingly, the analogous dimethyl‐bipyridine‐ruthenium complex shows reverse catalytic activities in the two reactions.
