Catalyst tune‐up : A readily available, air‐stable amino–sulfide catalyst, [RuCl 2 (PPh 3 ){HN(C 2 H 4 SEt) 2 }], has been developed. This complex displays outstanding efficiency for the hydrogenation of a broad range of substrates with CX bonds (esters, ketones, imines), as well as for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of ethanol to ethyl acetate (see scheme).
