In this paper, selective cyanoalkylation and [2+2+2] annulation of 1,6‐enynes with azobis(alkylcarbonitriles) under mild conditions is presented. When the reaction was run in EtOAc without any catalysts or additives, a highly regioselective cyanoalkylation of 1,6‐enynes was achieved. On the other hand, when a mixture of H 2 O and EtOAc was used as the green reaction medium in the presence of a cheap copper catalyst and an additive, a [2+2+2] annulation of 1,6‐enynes with azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) and H 2 O occurred to form four new chemical bonds in one step.
