Metal-catalyzed cyanoalkylation/cyclization of olefinic 1,3-dicarbonyls with cycloketone oxime esters has been developed under redox-neutral conditions. This protocol provided a straightforward approach to diverse cyanoalkylated 2,3-dihydrofurans via a tandem ring-opening/addition/cyclization process.
