Herein, we report the synthesis of six‐membered P,O‐heterocycles from dialkynylphosphine oxides. By using gold(I) complexes, the chemoselectivity of the reaction was switched from literature‐reported double hydration to a hydration/intramolecular cyclization cascade. Control experiments indicated that the first alkyne hydration product is an intermediate of the reaction. In addition, a density functional theory (DFT) calculation allowed to rationalize the observed chemoselectivity.
