Palladium‐catalyzed aminocarbonylation of heteroaryl iodides is reported in the presence of chloroform as the carbon monoxide surrogate. The substrate scope of the reaction was demonstrated by the synthesis of quinoline‐3‐carboxamides and other heteroaryl amides in yields up to 90 % under non‐inert conditions and microwave irradiation at 80 °C in 30 min. This carbonylation method provides efficient access to previously inaccessible biologically important heteroaryl carboxamides.
