No activation needed : The first efficient method for direct α‐arylation of non‐activated or non‐protected family of enolizable ketones with simple aryl iodides employs a catalytic copper system. The method shows potential for the easy and step‐economical synthesis of tamoxifen, the most commonly administrated drug for the management of breast cancer. R, R′, R′′ = electron‐donating or electron‐withdrawing groups.
