meta-selective sp2 C–H alkylation with secondary alkylhalides is well established, ortho selectivity has never been achieved. We demonstrate that the use of a cyclometalated Ru-complex, RuBnN, as the catalyst results in a complete switch of the inherent meta-selectivity to ortho selectivity in the Ru-catalyzed sp2 C–H alkylation reaction with unactivated secondary alkylhalides. The high catalytic activity
