Cationic ruthenium(II) complexes have been employed for the highly effective oxidative annulation of alkynes with benzyl alcohols to deliver diversely decorated isochromenes. The hydroxyl‐directed CH/OH functionalization process proceeded efficiently under an atmosphere of air. Detailed mechanistic studies were indicative of a kinetically relevant CH metalation.
