involving ortho‐aminomethylation of phenol was developed via ruthenium‐catalyzed dehydrogenation of methanol, an environmentally benign C1 building block, without the use of reactive reagents. The reaction was successfully applied to a range of substrates. When naphthol was employed instead of phenol, only methylation was observed. On the basis of various mechanistic studies, we propose that formamide barely
