A simple and practical copper‐catalyzed C−H activation of substituted pyridines with O‐aryl oximes leading to imidazo[1,2‐ a ]pyridines has been developed via self‐redox of the substrates. The reaction performed well under mild conditions, tolerating many functional groups. Importantly, the C−H activation did not need an added oxidant, additive, acid or base.
