A ruthenacycle-catalyzed one-pot β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols is described. A survey of four C–N chelate ruthenacycles synthesized via the cyclometallation reaction of phenylmethanamine, N-methylphenylmethanamine, N,N-dimethylphenylmethanamine, and naphthalen-1-ylmethanam...
