An efficient and versatile synthetic palladium‐catalyzed sp 2 CH bond activation approach for the preparation of a series of C8‐benzyl xanthines has been developed using benzyl chlorides as coupling partners. The reactions take place rapidly in 1,4‐dioxane and proceed in the presence of [PdCl 2 (MeCN) 2 ]/P( o ‐tolyl) 3 as a catalyst system and Cs 2 CO 3 as a base to afford good to excellent yields of the corresponding C8‐benzylated xanthines of biological interest.
