Let's drink to that! Two alcohols (one primary and one secondary) can be coupled in an atom‐efficient process by a hydrogen‐autotransfer catalytic system in the form of silver subnanoclusters supported on γ‐Al 2 O 3 . The recyclable heterogeneous catalyst promoted the one‐pot CC cross‐coupling in the presence of a catalytic amount of the weak base Cs 2 CO 3 (see reaction mechanism).
