A new and efficient metal‐free trimethylsilyl iodide (TMSI) catalyzed one‐pot synthesis of 2‐allyl‐2 H ‐chromenes has been developed that takes place under mild conditions. The synthesis proceeds through a Wittig reaction by using (triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetaldehyde to form an o ‐hydroxycinnamaldehyde derivative followed by a tandem isomerization and C–O and C–C bond‐forming reactions. The procedure was carried out at room temperature in the presence of 20 mol‐% of TMSI and allyltrimethylsilane in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and provided the 2‐allyl‐2 H ‐chromenes in good to excellent yields.
