Cross-coupling cyclization reaction between 2,3-allenoic acids 1 and 2,3-allenols 2, in which two allenes functioned differently, was realized to afford 4-(1',3'-dien-2'-yl)-2(5H)-furanone derivatives 3. The reaction may proceed via an oxypalladation, insertion, and beta-hydroxide elimination process. A high E-stereoselectivity of the new formed C=C double bond was observed.
