Development of catalytic systems that facilitate simple yet valuable molecular transformations in a sustainable manner is of fundamental importance in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. Herein, we report the expedient application of zwitterionic acridinium amidate, a recently devised direct hydrogen atom transfer catalyst, in catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenation (CAD). The combined use of acridinium amidate with a cobaloxime complex and a protic additive as a catalyst enables the CAD of hydrocarbons to proceed with high efficiency under mild reaction conditions.
