Herein, authors report the synthesis and characterization of two ruthenium-based pincer-type catalysts, I (X = Cl, PF6) and II (R = H, Cl), containing two different tridentate pincer ligands, 2-pyrazolyl-(1,10-phenanthroline) and 2-(phenyldiazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline; 2-((4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline), and their application in the synthesis of substituted pyrroles via dehydrogenative alc. functionalization reactions. In catalyst I (X = Cl, PF6), the tridentate scaffold 2-pyrazolyl-(1,10-phenanthroline) is apparently redox innocent, and all the redox events occur at the metal center, and the coordinated ligands remain as spectators. In contrast, in catalysts II (R = H, Cl), the coordinated azo-aromatic scaffolds are highly redox-active and known to participate actively during the dehydrogenation of alcs. A comparison between the catalytic activities of these two catalysts was made, starting from the simple dehydrogenation of alcs. to further dehydrogenative functionalization of alcs. to various substituted pyrroles to understand the advantages/disadvantages of the metal-ligand cooperative approach. Various substituted pyrroles were prepared via dehydrogenative coupling of secondary alcs. and amino alcs., and the N-substituted pyrroles were synthesized via dehydrogenative coupling of aromatic amines with cis-2-butene-1,4-diol and 2-butyne-1,4-diol, resp.
