The development of hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) in homogeneous catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenation (CAD) with selectivity for thorough aromatization under mild conditions remains challenging. Here, the authors propose a catalyst system that facilitates a double hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) processes for the CAD of inert cycloalkanes at ambient temperature under visible light irradiation.
