Treatment of acyclic γ‐bromopropargylic diols with tributylstannylated alkynes under palladium catalysis and microwave irradiation conditions gives high yields of the bis(alkylidene)cyclobutanediol derivatives and cyclobutenediols through an efficient 4‐ exo ‐ dig cyclocarbopalladation. The cyclization is general with a wide variety of alkyne derivatives and gives access to new cyclobutane ring systems bearing one exocyclic double bond and one eneyne substituent as well as bicyclic dienes sharing a common double bond that may be of interest for further elaborations of complex molecules.
