A practical, versatile, and efficient method for the palladium‐catalyzed direct cyanation of readily available acetanilides with K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] as a safe cyanating agent through C–H bond activation with excellent C2 regioselectivity was developed. This finding represents a new strategy for the synthesis of N ‐(2‐cyanoaryl)acetamides, which are important structural motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals.
