Enynes substituted with a tertiary hydroxyl group attached to one of the alkyne units react with iodobenzenes in a Pd‐catalyzed domino reaction. The cascade consists of an intermolecular anti ‐carbopalladation and a terminating Heck reaction. This process leads to arene‐substituted dienes. One tetrasubstituted double bond is embedded in a six‐membered ring system, and the other trisubstituted alkene is located in an exocyclic position. On treatment with acid, the emerging tertiary carbocation is attacked by the arene to give a five‐membered ring, and thus results in the formation of alkylated indenes.
