may permit solving challenges of chemical synthesis. We report here on a catalytic C−N bond formation reaction—the reductivealkylation of nitriles. Aldehydes or ketones and nitriles, all abundantly available and low‐cost starting materials, undergo a reductive coupling to form secondary alkylamines and inexpensive hydrogen is used as the reducing agent. The reaction has a very broad scope and many functional
