To provide a ruthenium hydride complex which can efficiently reduce a carbonyl compound instable to bases.
This ruthenium hydride complex represented by general formula (1) (R1 and R2 are each a 1 to 20C alkyl or a cyclic hydrocarbon group which may have one or more substituents; R3 and R4 are each H or a 1 to 3C hydrocarbon group; R5, R6, R7 and R8 are each a hydrocarbon group which may have one or more substituents; R9, R10, R11, and R12 are each H or a chain or cyclic hydrocarbon group which may have one or more substituents, provided that at least one of R9, R10, R11, and R12 is H; R13, R14, R15 , and R16 are each H or a chain or cyclic hydrocarbon group which may have one or more substituents; Z is a 0 to 10C chain or cyclic hydrocarbon group which may have one or more substituents).
