The first method for the dehydrogenation of nitrogen heterocycles catalyzed by a palladium nanocatalyst was developed. Carbon–metal covalent‐bond‐stabilized nanoparticles were found to be efficient for the dehydrogenation process in the presence of tert‐butyl hydroperoxide. A variety of N‐heterocycles were transformed into functionalized quinolines in medium to excellent yields in water as the solvent under mild conditions by a simple operation.
