A new strategy for the synthesis of α-alkylated ketones from secondary alcohols and primary alkenyl alcohols via a tandemtransferhydrogenation/hydrogen autotransfer process was proposed and successfully accomplished. Mechanistic experiments supported that functional groups in bpy ligand are crucial for the transferhydrogenation and hydrogen autotransfer process. Furthermore, the utilization of the
