A Co(III)‐catalyzed C−H activation reaction for ortho ‐alkenylation of benzamides (aryl/heteroaryl) and C2‐alkenylation of indole derivatives have been developed using alkynyl carboxylic acid as an alkene source. A high regioselectivity has been achieved in the formation of disubstituted alkenes, and the possible cyclic products were not observed. This efficient alkenylation shows a broad range of substrate scope with a good functional group tolerance. The application of the methodology has been showcased by transforming an alkenylated amide to a 3‐hydroxy isoindolinone derivative.
