A manganese‐catalyzed one‐pot conversion of nitroarenes into N ‐methylarylamines has been developed. This transfer hydrogenation method employs a well‐defined bench stable Mn PN 3 P pincer precatalyst in combination with methanol as both the reductant and the C1 source. A selection of commercially available nitroarenes was converted into N ‐methylarylamines in synthetically useful yields.
