How many ligands does it take to change a bond? The oxidative C−H arylation of olefins (the Fujiwara–Moritani reaction) has been plagued by low efficiency and the need for excess amounts of valuable arene starting materials. In their Communication on page 2497, M. van Gemmeren and co‐workers report a dual ligand strategy for optimizing the palladium catalyst for this reaction.
