The selective, anaerobic catalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols at room temperature by using an in situ (N‐heterocyclic carbene)–Ni 0 system is presented. The use of non‐anhydrous, non‐degassed 2,4‐dichlorotoluene as both the oxidant and the solvent allows for very short reaction times and very high yields. In addition, a well‐defined (N‐heterocyclic carbene)–Ni 0 complex was synthesized and applied to these oxidation reactions.
