AB - The reactions of α,β‐unsaturated δ‐lactones with activated dienes such as 1,3‐dimethoxy‐1‐[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]‐1,3‐butadiene (Brassard's diene) are barely known in literature and show high potential for the synthesis of isocoumarin moieties. An in‐depth investigation of this reaction proved a stepwise mechanism via the vinylogous Michael‐products. Subsequent cyclisation and oxidation by LHMDS and DDQ, respectively, provided six mellein derivatives (30–84 %) and four angelicoin derivatives (40–78 %) over three steps. DFT‐calculations provide insights into the reaction mechanism and support the theory of a stepwise reaction.
