The high thermodynamic barrier for ethane aromatization at lower temperatures (400–500°C) over a H‐GaAlMFI zeolite can be overcome. Both ethane conversion and the yield of arenes drastically increase (4–80 ×) by carring out the aromatization in the presence of olefins or higher alkanes. The enhanced reactivity results from a change in the reaction mechanism, and a hydrogen‐transfer reaction takes place between ethane and higher olefins.
