A selection of cobalt(I) and cobalt(II) pincer type complexes with different substitution patterns was tested in the catalytic reduction of carboxylic acid esters to alcohols. The cobalt pincer type complex 4 is suitable for the hydrogenation of aromatic as well as aliphatic and cyclic esters. Mechanistic investigation indicated a metal ligand cooperated reaction pathway.
