Biomimetic syntheses of functionalized γ‐resorcylates from 2,2,6‐trimethyl‐4 H ‐1,3‐dioxin‐4‐one derivatives are reported. Cross metathesis of 2,2‐dimethyl‐6‐vinyl‐4 H ‐1,3‐dioxin‐4‐one with homoallylic esters or aldol reactions of tert ‐butyl or benzyl esters with 1‐(2,2‐dimethyl‐4‐oxo‐4 H ‐1,3‐dioxin‐6‐yl)‐acetone and related ketones followed by aromatization under mild Appel‐type reaction conditions gave a range of γ‐resorcylates.
