A mild and general route for preparing pyrans and dienones from carbonyls and diynes is described. Ni imidazolylidene complexes were used to mediate cyclizations between diynes and aldehydes. The reaction of an enyne and an aldehyde afforded a mixture of cyclized products. In addition, a spiropyran was prepared from the cycloaddition of a diyne and cyclohexanone. [reaction: see text]
