Palladium‐catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling reactions between acetanilides and benzylic alcohols under aqueous conditions are reported. A wide range of benzophenone derivatives could be obtained in good to excellent yields up to 98 %. Mechanism studies showed that a bimetallic palladium cyclopalladated complex might be involved in the catalysis.
