A three‐component alkoxycyanomethylation of alkenes is achieved using the iridium photoredox catalyst [ fac ‐Ir(ppy) 3 ]. This catalytic radical difunctionalization accomplishes both alkylation and alkoxylation of alkenes in one pot. Various alcohols can serve as the alkoxy sources in this transformation. In addition, the introduced cyano group can undergo further transformations into various useful functional groups. magnified image
