Herein, the first acceptorless dehydrogenation of tetrahydroquinolines (THQs), indolines, and other related N‐heterocycles, by merging visible‐light photoredox catalysis and cobalt catalysis at ambient temperature, is described. The potential applications to organic transformations and hydrogen‐stor...
