A novel synthetic route to 4‐pyridazineacetic acids 10–12 has been achieved by the ring‐expansion reaction of N‐cyanomethylated 3‐pyrazoline‐4‐acetic acids 7–9. 1H‐Pyrazole‐4‐acetic acids 1–3 were reacted with iodoacetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine in refluxing acetonitrile to give the corresponding C‐cyanomethylated 1H‐pyrazole‐4‐acetic acids 4–6 as major products together with N‐cyanomethylated
