The present invention relates to the field of catalytic hydrogenation and, more particularly, to the use of specific ruthenium catalysts, or pre-catalysts, in hydrogenation processes for the reduction of ketones, aldehydes and esters or lactones into the corresponding alcohol or diol respectively. Said catalysts are ruthenium complexes comprising a ligand of the type (N-N) type and a ligand of the type (P-PO).
