Direct catalytic N-alkylation of amines with secondary alcohols via hydrogen autotransfer (HA) strategy is very challenging and has been scarcely reported, even under precious metal catalysis. Herein, an efficient N-alkylation of amines, including benzylamines using secondary alcohols as alkylating agents, is reported. This reaction is catalyzed by a molecularly defined NNN-Ni(II) pincercomplex, and
