A strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of (2 Z ,4 Z ,6 Z ,8 Z )‐decatetraene diketone by the one‐step metal reduction of pyrylium salts is described. Reduction of α‐active pyrylium salts (at least one H at the α‐C positon) leads to only linear decatetraene diketone derivatives, whereas reduction of α‐non‐active pyrylium salts (no H at the α‐C position) generates two unexpected structures and one linear decatetraene diketone. The reaction conditions were optimized, and a reaction mechanism was proposed. Single‐crystal structures of decatetraene diketone derivatives demonstrate the twisted configuration of the backbones and the all‐( Z ) geometry of the double bonds. In addition, the thermal, optical, and electrochemical properties of these compounds were studied in detail.
