Mechanochemical activation of iron cyano complexes by ball milling results in the formation of HCN, which can be trapped and incorporated into α‐aminonitriles. This prebiotic impact scenario can be extended by mechanochemically transforming the resulting α‐aminonitriles into α‐amino amides using a chemical route related to early Earth conditions.
