Catalytic cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions have become useful in CH bond activation. In their Full Paper on page 2599 ff., Shogo Hashizume, Kounosuke Oisaki, and Motomu Kanai demonstrate that the copper‐catalyzed migratory oxidative coupling reaction between nitrones and ethers/amines exhibits a high tolerance of functional groups. The reaction proceeds at room temperature in the near‐neutral pH range, even under aqueous conditions. These characteristics are favorable for future extension to convergent and protecting group‐free catalytic construction of carbon skeletons, as well as for the chemical labeling of biologically relevant molecules.
