	abstract = {<p>A TfOH-catalyzed highly efficient synthesis of biologically active (E)-2-cyanoacrylamides and 3-substituted azetidine-2,4-diones has been reported with 64{\textendash}94\% yields under metal-free conditions. The reaction proceeds through sequential Knoevenagel condensation/stereoselective in situ monohydration of nitrile or C{\textendash}N cyclization protocol in one-pot. The attractive features of this tandem process are moderate reaction conditions, high atom economy, broad substrate scope, gram-scale reaction and ease of operation.</p>},
