## Abstract A new cascade pathway viable for Knoevenagel chemistry that involves the coupling between 1,3‐dicarbonyl systems and α,β,γ,δ‐unsaturated aldehydes has been developed. The process comprises the combination of a classic aldol‐type condensation and a rare spontaneous metal‐free cycloisomer
