We report direct arylation of arylhalides with unactivated sp<sup>2</sup> C-H bonds in benzene and naphthalene using a copper(I) catalyst featuring an ambiphilic ligand, (quinolin-8-yl)dimesitylborane. Direct arylation could be achieved with 0.2 mol % catalyst and 3 equivalents of base (KO(<i>t</i>-Bu)) at 80 °C to afford TON ≈160-190 over 40 hours. ...[more]
