We report herein the first example of a homogeneous manganesecatalyzed transfer hydrogenation of nitriles using 2‐BuOH as the hydrogen source. Compound fac‐[(CO)3MniPr2P(CH2)2PiPr2}Br] (Mn‐1, 3 mol %) exhibited catalytic activity in the presence of KOtBu (10 mol %) for the transfer hydrogenation of benzonitrile to yield a mixture of benzylamine (BA) and N‐sec‐butylidenebenzylamine (SBA).
