A little goes a long way : An iridium–nitrogen‐radical complex is a highly active and selective catalyst for the dehydrogenation (oxidation) of primary alcohols to aldehydes in the presence of the oxidant benzoquinone (see simplified scheme). With only 0.01 mol % of the complex, turnover frequencies of up to 150 000 s −1 are reached.
