Direct synthesis of the hydroxymethylated arene derivatives via ruthenium(Ⅲ)-catalyzed nitrogen atom directed C-H activation is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature and generates the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields. Meanwhile, it has a broad substrate scope and opens up an attractive avenue for the application of direct hydroxymethylation in the synthesis of biologically active compounds.

Key words: C-H activation, paraformaldehyde, hydroxymethylation, room temperature
