The alkylation of arenes is one of the most fundamental transformations in synthetic chemistry and the transition‐metal‐catalyzed direct C−H alkylation represents a straightforward and attractive approach from both atom and step‐economy perspectives. Epoxides, the smallest three‐membered saturated O...
