The Pd 0 ‐catalyzed C(sp 3 )‐H arylation of 2‐bromo‐N‐methylanilides leads to unstable benzazetidine intermediates that rearrange to benzoxazines through 4π electrocyclic ring‐opening and 6π electrocyclization. The introduction of a bulky, non‐activatable amide group on the nitrogen atom was key to favor the challenging reductive elimination step and disfavor undesired reaction pathways.
