A general procedure for the catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines by using a non‐noble metal‐based system is presented. Co(acac) 3 in combination with tris[2‐(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethyl]phosphine efficiently catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of a wide range of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic nitriles to give the corresponding amines.
