Piano‐stool ([( p ‐cymene)Ru(thz)Cl], 2 ) and six‐coordinated ([Ru(thz) 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ], 3 ) ruthenium complexes derived from 2‐phenylthiazoline‐4‐carboxylic acid (Hthz, 1 ) were synthesized for the first time, and fully characterized using conventional methods. Also, the molecular structure of complex 3 was determined using X‐ray analysis. These complexes were evaluated as catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds in the presence of isopropyl alcohol and KO t Bu. Complex 2 was found to be more active than 3 in transfer hydrogenation . Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
