Zinc‐catalyzed selective cross‐coupling of two carbene sources, such as vinyl diazo compounds and enynones, enabled the synthesis of conjugated dienoate derivatives. This reaction involved the unprecedented coupling of a zinc furyl carbene with vinyl diazo compounds through the γ‐carbon. Alternatively, dienoates were also prepared by a commutative cross‐coupling of zinc vinyl carbenes generated from cyclopropenes and simple diazo compounds.
