A stereoselective α‐vinylation of cycloaliphatic ketones with arylacetylenes under the transition metal‐free conditions has been developed. The reaction is promoted by the superbasic catalytic triad potassium hydroxide/ tert ‐butyl alcohol/dimethyl sulfoxide (80–110 °C, 1–2 h) to afford mainly ( E )‐β,γ‐ethylenic ketones, their ( E )‐α,β‐isomers being minor products, in up to 83% total yield.
