Herein, we present the first catalyticdirectolefination of methyl‐substituted heteroarenes with primary alcohols through an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling. The reaction is catalyzed by a complex of the earth‐abundant transition metal manganese that is stabilized by a bench‐stable NNN pincer ligand derived from 2‐hydrazinylpyridine. The reaction is environmentally benign, producing only hydrogen
Catalysis with earth‐abundant transition metals is an option to help save our rare noble‐metal resources and is especially interesting when novel reactivity or selectivity patterns are observed. We report here on a novel reaction, namely the dehydrogenative alkylation or α‐olefination of alkyl‐substituted N‐heteroarenes with alcohols. Manganese complexes developed in our laboratory catalyze the reaction
