The selective synthesis of amines continues to be of importance because of their application in the bulk and fine chemical industries. Herein, domino ruthenium‐catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of nitriles with subsequent N ‐monoalkylation by using alcohols is described. With this novel approach, various nitriles were reductively N ‐monoalkylated in excellent yields.
