A detailed experimental analysis of the 1,4-selective reduction of pyridine with hydrosilanes catalyzed by a coordinatively unsaturated Ru-II thiolate complex is reported. The previously suggested intermediates, N-silylpyridinium ions and a neutral Ru-II hydride, have been independently synthesized and do indeed participate in the catalytic cycle. The resting state is not the cationic Ru-II complex initially used as the catalyst but its pyridine-coordinated congener. All Ru-II complexes, including the one resulting from hydrosilane activation, are in equilibrium with each other. The N-silylated 1,4-dihydropyridine together with the cationic Ru-II complex convert back into the corresponding N-silylpyridinium ion and the neutral Ru-II hydride (retro-hydrosilylation), followed by further backward reaction into the hydrosilane and the pyridine adduct of the cationic complex. These steps prove the overall reversibility of the transformation.
