A three-component carboetherification of unactivated alkenes has been developed allowing the rapid building of complexity from simple starting materials. A wide range of α-substituted styrenes underwent smooth reactions with unactivated alkyl nitriles and alcohols to afford γ-alkoxy alkyl nitriles with
