An efficient method was developed for the synthesis of highly substituted naphthalenes through rhodium‐catalyzed oxidative benzannulation of N ‐pivaloylanilines with internal alkynes. The benzannulation reaction proceeded smoothly through dual C−H bond activation to produce the corresponding highly substituted naphthalene products in satisfactory to good yields.
