Gold brings us together : Taking advantage of the orthogonal reactivities of Au I and Au III towards CH activation of electron‐poor and electron‐rich arenes, respectively, a novel approach for the synthesis of biaryls through double CH activation is proposed. Stoichiometric studies demonstrate that these oxidative couplings occur with high selectivity at low temperature.
