Electrochemical carbon–carbon coupling: Electrolysis is a facile and green route to dimers of alkyl aromatic compounds, enabling cross‐couplings of phenols and cyclizations of aryl ethers and enol ethers in high selectivities and yields. This Highlight describes the broad scope and simplicity of anodic coupling. HFIP=Hexafluoroisopropanol.
