A catalytic amount of benzoyl peroxide (BPO)‐initiated cross‐dehydrogenative coupling reaction of N ‐iminopyridine ylides with simple alkanes and alcohols leads to the corresponding 2‐alkylpyridines with high regioselectivity in moderate to good yields without an additional reduction step to remove the activated group.
