Benzene derivatives were synthesized in excellent yield from 1,4,7‐trien‐3‐ols by tandem ruthenium‐catalyzed ring‐closing olefin metathesis (RCM)/dehydration. The method was extended to the tandem RCM/oxidation process to obtain phenol and aniline derivatives. This method displays many advantages over aromatic‐substitution‐based classical routes.
