Various methylarenes were transformed into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good to moderate yields by the treatment with aq. HBr and aq. H 2 O 2 , followed by reaction with molecular iodine and aq. ammonia in a one‐pot procedure. The present reaction is a useful, practical, transition‐metal‐free, and organic‐reagent‐free method for the preparation of aromatic nitriles from methylarenes.
