Direct dehydrative α‐alkylation reactions of ketones with alcohols are now realized under simple, practical, and green conditions without using external catalysts. These catalyst‐free autocatalyzed alkylation methods can efficiently afford useful alkylated ketone or alcohol products in a one‐pot manner and on a large scale by CC bond formation of the in situ generated intermediates with subsequent

secondary alcohols with primary alcohols under phosphine-free conditions. The β-alkylated secondary alcohols were obtained in moderate to good yields with water formed as the byproduct through a borrowinghydrogen pathway. β-Alkylation of cholesterols was also effectively achieved. The present protocol provides a concise atom-economical method for C–C bond formationfrom primary and secondary alcohols.
A new Mn‐catalyzed alkylation of secondary alcohols with non‐activated alcohols is presented. The use of a stable and well‐defined manganese pincer complex, stabilized by a PNN ligand, together with a catalytic amount of base enabled the conversion of renewable alcohol feedstocks to a broad range of higher‐value alcohols in good yields with water as the sole byproduct. The strategy eliminates the need

β-alkylation of secondaryalcohols with primaryalcohols to selectively generate alcohols by a well-defined Co catalyst is presented. Remarkably, a low catalyst loading of 0.7 mol % can be employed for the reaction. More significantly, this study represents the first Co-catalyzed switchable alcohol/ketone synthesis by simply manipulating the reaction parameters. In addition, the transformation is environmentally

borrowing hydrogen strategy in which alcohols were activated by transition metal‐catalyzed anaerobic dehydrogenation, the direct addition of aldehydes was found to be an effective but simpler way of alcohol activation that can lead to efficient and green aldehyde‐catalyzed transition metal‐free dehydrative C‐alkylation of methyl carbinols with alcohols. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds
