A cationic ruthenium(II) complex enabled efficient oxidative alkenylations of anilides in water as a green solvent and proved applicable to double C-H bond functionalizations of (hetero)aromatic amides with ample scope. Detailed studies provided strong support for a change of ruthenation mechanism in the two transformations, with an irreversible metalation as the key step in cross-dehydrogenative alkenylations of benzamides.
