Abstract Hydrogen evolution reactions have been proved to be a powerful and green strategy in organic synthesis. Differing from hydrogen evolution reactions catalyzed by noble metal pincer complex with some limitations, the reactions facilitated by merging hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and metal‐catalyzed hydrogen evolution (MCHE) represents a more attractive and promising alternative for direct formation of chemical bonds from available feedstocks in synthetic chemistry. Given the significance, this review summarizes the state of the art with highlighting the mechanism, synthetic applications and meanwhile enlightens the future development of this area.
