The first general palladium‐catalyzed α‐arylation of arylacetonitriles with aryl and heteroaryl sulfonates are reported. The catalyst system comprising of Pd(OAc)2 and XPhos is highly effective towards this reaction. A wide range of aryl/heteroaryl tosylates and mesylates are coupled with arylacetonitriles smoothly and catalyst loadings as low as 0.1 mol‐% Pd can be achieved.
