A direct, one‐pot conversion of 2’‐haloacetophenones to 3‐methyleneisoindolin‐1‐one scaffolds using CuCN as the sole reagent without the need for moisture‐free or anaerobic conditions is reported. This serendipitously discovered transformation with a broad substrate scope provides a significantly different route towards these important scaffolds. The scope of the method has also been further extended
