sustainable or green reaction that has received a lot of attention in recent years and is preferentially catalyzed by Ir or Ru complexes is the alkylation of amines by alcohols. It is based on the borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer concept. Herein, we report on the Co‐catalyzed alkylation of aromaticamines by alcohols. The reaction proceeds undermildconditions, and selectively generates monoalkylated

amidination/N-alkylation reaction of amines by alcohols has been developed. For the first time, nitriles have been identified as an efficient and benign water acceptor reagent in N-alkylation. Notably, the procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as methoxyl, halo, vinyl and hetero groups, providing a convenient method to construct different substituted diamino compounds, 15N labeled
