Herein, the divergent transformations of 1,3-diols with arylhydrazines via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling reactions to selectively synthesize pyrazoles and 2-pyrazolines were reported, which were based on Ru3(CO)12/NHC-phosphine-phosphine catalytic systems. The reactions featured low catalyst loading, high selectivity, wide substrate scope, and good yields, with only water and hydrogen gas (H2) as the byproducts.
