Only water : Phenols have been shown to undergo a ruthenium‐catalyzed ortho ‐alkylation reaction (see scheme; Cy=cyclohexyl). Unactivated alcohols are used as the alkylating agents and water is the only by‐product that is generated, making this transformation more atom‐economical and greener than traditional methods.
