Herein, we report a Ru-catalyzed arylation of benzylic but also non benzylic sp3 C�H bonds with e.g. arylboronates as aryl donors directed by 3-substituted pyridin-2-yls. This catalytic method is compatible with a variety of substituted arene donors. Aryls containing electron-donating substituents gave higher yields at shorter reaction times compared to aryl donors containing electron withdrawing groups which is in agreement with previous literature observations.
