The electrooxidation of several 1‐arylpyrroles has been carried out in methanol containing sodium cyanide at a platinum anode in a divided cell. In all instances, replacement of a heteroaromatic hydrogen by a cyano group occurred. On the basis of electroanalytical results, the anodic cyanation of the title compounds could be designed an EC process. As a result of two‐electron oxidation, the corresponding pyrrole cyanides were obtained in yields ranging from 76‐85%. The advantages of electrochemistry synthesis of pyrrole cyanides are simple reaction condition, low cost and high purity products.
