The first example of near-room-temperature α-arylation of benzo[ b]thiophenes is reported. The discovery rests on the observation of a switch in α-/β-regioselectivity at different loadings of Pd<sub>2</sub>(dba)<sub>3</sub>·CHCl<sub>3</sub> in the coupling between benzo[ b]thiophene and 4-iodotoluene. We show that this unprecedented regioselectivity switch is driven by a Ag(I)-mediated C-H activation at the α-C-H position, which becomes the dominant mode of reactivity at low concentrations of Pd ...[more]
