  25. Monotosylated diamines: formic acid-tolerant ligands for transfer hydrogenation - monotosylated diamines give slightly less reactive catalysts than the amino alcohols but have proven to be a more useful ligand system for ruthenium based transfer hydrogenations since compatibility with the formic acid system allows efficient reduction even in readily reversible systems:
