The alkylation of arylamines using stoichiometric amounts of aliphatic and benzylic alcohols in the presence of t BuOK was carried out at 55 °C using a low catalyst loading of [Ru(cod)Cl 2 ] n /PTA (1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane). The overall borrowing‐hydrogen process does not require a controlled nitrogen atmosphere, and it could also be carried out at room temperature using higher loading of base. A wide range of substrates can be used in this transformation, and it has a good tolerance of different substituents. This catalytic system proved also to be efficient for other hydrogen‐transfer reactions such as a tandem oxidation/C–C coupling between 1‐phenylethanol and primary alcohols.
