The first Cp*Rh III ‐catalyzed arylation of unactivated C(sp 3 )H bonds is presented. The unactivated primary C(sp 3 )H bond of 2‐alkylpyridines can be activated by Rh III and further reacts with triarylboroxines to efficiently build new C(sp 3 )aryl bonds. The methodology also provides a facile and efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical triarylmethanes by Rh III ‐catalyzed C(sp 3 )H arylation of diarylmethanes.
