O ‐Dienyl esters are obtained through the regio‐ and stereospecific addition of both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids to terminal propargylic alcohols, with the sequential formation of a carbon–oxygen bond and dehydration, in the presence of [( p ‐cymene)Ru(dppp)Cl][PF 6 ] ( 1 ). Also, the cytotoxicity and anticancer activity of the newly synthesized O ‐dienyl ester ( Z )‐3‐methylbuta‐1,3‐dienyl oleate have been investigated.
