The palladium(II)‐catalyzedβ‐ and γ‐alkynylation of amide C(sp3)−H bonds is enabled by pyridine‐based ligands. This alkynylation reaction is compatible with substrates containing α‐tertiary or α‐quaternary carbon centers. The β‐methylene C(sp3)−H bonds of various carbocyclic rings were also successfully alkynylated.
