Versatile ruthenium catalysts enabled unprecedented C-H bond oxygenations of aryl Weinreb amides with ample scope under exceedingly mild reaction conditions, thereby also giving access to valuable ortho-hydroxylated aldehydes. Mechanistic studies provided strong support for a kinetically relevant C-H bond activation.
