Direct dehydrative α‐alkylation reactions of ketones with alcohols are now realized under simple, practical, and green conditions without using external catalysts. These catalyst‐free autocatalyzed alkylation methods can efficiently afford useful alkylated ketone or alcohol products in a one‐pot manner and on a large scale by CC bond formation of the in situ generated intermediates with subsequent

β-alkylation of secondaryalcohols with primaryalcohols to selectively generate alcohols by a well-defined Co catalyst is presented. Remarkably, a low catalyst loading of 0.7 mol % can be employed for the reaction. More significantly, this study represents the first Co-catalyzed switchable alcohol/ketone synthesis by simply manipulating the reaction parameters. In addition, the transformation is environmentally

borrowing hydrogen strategy in which alcohols were activated by transition metal‐catalyzed anaerobic dehydrogenation, the direct addition of aldehydes was found to be an effective but simpler way of alcohol activation that can lead to efficient and green aldehyde‐catalyzed transition metal‐free dehydrative C‐alkylation of methyl carbinols with alcohols. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds
herein an unprecedented highly efficient Guerbet‐type reaction at room temperature (catalytic TON up to >6000). This β‐alkylation of secondary methyl carbinols with primary alcohols has significant advantage of delivering higher‐order secondary alcohols in an economical, redox‐neutral fashion. In addition, the first enantioselective Guerbet reaction has also been achieved using a commercially available
