Easy going : A ruthenium‐catalyzed release of amines from their respective allylcarbamates is disclosed and is a step towards the design of catalysts as tools for cellular biology. The reaction tolerates the combination of water, air, and thiols and can be performed inside living mammalian cells. Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, cod=1,5‐cyclooctadiene.
