This study describes the first palladium‐catalyzed, site‐selective α‐ and γ‐arylation of α,β‐unsaturated ketones with (hetero)aryl halides. A wide range of hetero(aryl)halides coupled with α,β‐unsaturated ketones, and transformation into the arylated products proceeded with excellent to good yields. The site selectivity of the reaction is switchable by simply changing the phosphine ligand to access either α‐arylated or γ‐arylated products in good to excellent yields by using a low catalyst loading, and the method demonstrates good functional‐group compatibility.
