| Abstract: | A combination of ruthenium and photoredox catalysis allowed the ortho olefination of phenols. Using visible light, the direct C? H functionalization of o‐(2‐pyridyl)phenols occurred, and diverse phenol ethers were obtained in good yields. The regeneration of the ruthenium catalyst was accomplished by a photoredox‐catalyzed oxidative process. |
