We report here the ruthenium-catalyzed selective monoarylation of aromatic ketones bearing two ortho carbon–heteroatom (O or N) bonds. Under the newly developed catalyst system consisting of RuHCl(CO)(PⁱPr₃)₂, CsF, and styrene, the C–O arylation of 2′,6′-dimethoxyacetophenone with a phenylboronate gave the C–O monoarylation product selectively. The selective C–O monoarylation was applicable to a variety of arylboronates and aromatic ketones and proceeds with high regio- and chemoselectivities. A formal synthesis of altertenuol was also achieved using the C–O monoarylation of an aromatic ester as a key step.
