β‐Lactams are important structural motifs because of their ubiquity in natural products and pharmaceuticals. We report herein a Cu‐catalyzed intramolecular oxidative C(sp 3 )−H amidation for the synthesis of β‐lactams using t BuOO t Bu. This method is based on Kharasch–Sosnovsky amidation and does not require prefunctionalization of C(sp 3 )−H bonds or the installation of a directing group, thereby allowing for the straightforward synthesis of β‐lactams. Our intramolecular functionalization protocol can be extended to diverse benzylic C(sp 3 )−H bonds and shows excellent functional‐group tolerance.
