Carbon‐supported MgO materials are excellent and sustainable catalysts for the synthesis of N‐containing heterocyclic compounds by the Friedländer condensation under mild, solvent‐free conditions. The results reported herein indicate that MgO is the most active catalytic species that accelerates the reaction compared with the catalytic behavior observed for the carbon material Norit RX3. On the basis of DFT calculations, a reaction mechanism that involves dual activation of the reacting structures by the catalyst is proposed.
