The unconventional reactivity of ( Z )‐enoate‐attached propargylic alcohols in the presence of acids (nucleophilic and non‐nucleophilic) was described. This study led to the discovery and development of a new strategy for the collective synthesis of the synthetically useful building blocks α‐OMs‐, α‐OTs‐, and α‐Cl‐enones, as well as 4,5‐dioxonoates. The reaction proceeded under very mild conditions and showed a broad substrate scope.
