A new ruthenium-catalyzed hydrodemethoxylation of ortho-methoxy-benzamides and -naphthamides involving amide-directed C-OMe bond activation and hydride reduction is disclosed. The reaction is general, proceeding under RuH(CO)(PPh) catalysis using either triethylsilane (EtSiH) or diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) as the reductant. The corresponding C-N hydrodeamination reaction is also briefly reported.
