Few methods allow for the direct conversion of cycloalkenes into cycloalkadienes with high chemo‐ and regioselectivity. Herein, we report a convenient one‐pot process for this transformation that involves the unprecedented N‐preferential group transfer of N ‐oxoammonium salts to cycloalkenes, followed by Cope elimination, to afford cycloalkadienes at room temperature and pressure.
