The first efficient and general rhenium‐catalyzed hydrogenation of carbonyl derivatives was developed. The key to the success of the reaction was the use of a well‐defined rhenium complex bearing a tridentate diphosphinoamino ligand as the catalyst (0.5 mol %) at 70 °C in the presence of H 2 (30 bar). The mechanism of the reaction was investigated by DFT(PBE0‐D3) calculations.
