A transition‐metal‐catalyzedborrowinghydrogen/hydrogen auto‐transfer strategy allows the utilization of feedstock alcohols as an alkylating partner, which avoids the formation of stoichiometric salt waste and enables a direct and benign approach for the construction of C‐N and C−C bonds. In this study, a nickel‐catalyzedα‐alkylation of unactivated amides and ester (tert‐butyl acetate) is carried
Mn-catalyzed C-alkylation of amides and tert-butyl acetate using alcohols as alkylating agents is reported. This approach exhibits a broad substrate scope providing the C(α)-alkylated amides in good yields via hydrogen auto-transfer strategy.
