Abstract
A traceless directing group strategy enables a nickel-catalyzed transformation of alkene-tethered oxime ethers to nitriles. A series of alkene-tethered oxime ethers derived from benzaldehyde and cinnamyl aldehyde derivatives were converted into the corresponding benzonitriles and cinnamonitriles in good yields.
