Six‐membered cyclic α‐aminonitrile has been prepared from anodic cyanation of N ‐benzylpiperidine. Good yields of α‐aminonitriles could be obtained through potentiostatic electrolysis under different conditions. The results also explain why high yield α‐aminonitriles could not be obtained under constant current electrolysis.
