Cross‐coupling reactions using tertiary carbon‐centered radicals are an important class of transformations for constructing C( sp 3 )−C( sp 3 ) bonds, but the use of dimers as precursors of the persistent radicals is quite rare. Herein, we describe a radical‐based cross‐coupling reaction between dimers (prepared from 2‐oxindoles and benzofuranones) and azo compounds that proceeds simply upon heating the reaction mixture. We present a conformational analysis of the dimers and we characterize the generation of a persistent radical via cleavage of the elongated C(3)−C(3’) σ‐bond. The behavior of the dimers in solution was characterized by spectroscopic analysis, helping to provide a basis for expanding the substrate scope of the cross‐coupling reaction.
