Functionalized dihydrobenzofuran derivatives can be obtained by intramolecular alkoxycyanation and alkoxyacylation of alkenes (see scheme). In both transformations, selective activation of an OFG bond is accomplished by using a transition‐metal catalyst. These transformations represent a conceptually new approach to metal‐catalyzed alkene difunctionalization.
