Nickel‐catalyzed benzylation reactions of C−H bonds in aromatic amides with benzyltrimethylammonium halides are developed by using a 5‐chloro‐8‐aminoquinoline derivative as a bidentate directing group. Benzylation occurs selectively at the ortho‐C−H bonds in aromatic amides, and no methylation was detected. The presence of a 5‐chloro‐8‐aminoquinoline moiety is essential for the success of this reaction, in which a variety of functional groups can be tolerated.
