| Abstract: | Herein, the first example of base‐metal‐catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of diols and amines to selectively form functionalized 1,2,5‐substituted pyrroles liberating water and hydrogen gas as the sole by‐products is presented. The reaction is catalyzed by pincer complexes of earth‐abundant cobalt. |
