A simple and highly efficient method for the preparation of tetrasubstituted furans starting from readily accessible propargylic alcohols and commercially available 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds has been developed. The process, which proceeds in a one‐pot manner, involves the initial propargylation of the 1,3‐dicarbonyl compound promoted by trifluoroacetic acid, and subsequent cycloisomerization of the resulting γ‐ketoalkyne catalyzed by the 16‐electron allyl‐ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(η3‐2‐C3H4Me)(CO)(dppf)][SbF6].
