Starting from β,γ‐allendiols and α‐allenic acetates, a chemo‐ and regiocontrolled palladium‐catalyzed methodology has provided access to enantiopure 3,6‐dihydropyrans that bear a buta‐1,3‐dienyl moiety. Thus, it has been demonstrated for the first time that the preparation of six‐membered heterocycles through cross‐coupling reactions of two different allenes can be accomplished. These heterocyclization/cross‐coupling reactions have been developed experimentally and their mechanisms have additionally been investigated by a computational study.
