Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Gas up</bold>: A cyclometalated iridium complex is found to catalyze the dehydrogenation of various benzofused N‐heterocycles, thus releasing H₂. Driven by as low as 0.1 mol % catalyst, the reaction affords quinolines, indoles, quinoxalines, isoquinolines, and β‐carbolines in high yields.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg22f1qww6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
