Lewis acid‐catalyzed cyclizations of 1,5‐bis(trimethylsilyloxy)‐1,3,5‐hexatrienes and 1,3,5‐tris(trimethylsilyloxy)‐1,3,5‐hexatrienes with oxalyl chloride resulted in the formation of polyunsaturated γ‐alkylidenebutenolides, while the cyclization of a 2,4‐bis(trimethylsilyloxy)‐1,3,5‐hexatriene with oxalyl chloride afforded a γ‐(2‐oxobut‐3‐en‐1‐ylidene)butenolide, permitting a formal synthesis of the natural product lucidone.
