Abstract The transition‐metal‐free insertion of isolated alkynes into carbon–carbon σ‐bonds of unstrained cyclic β‐dicarbonyl compounds has been reported. These tandem reactions offer an efficient synthesis of medium‐sized ring or fused‐ring compounds through ring expansion. The methodology has the potential to be widely used throughout organic synthesis due to the easily accessible starting materials and mild reaction conditions.
