## Abstract We report herein a detailed investigation into the reaction mechanism for a sequential oxy‐Cope/ene reaction under anionic conditions. With DFT calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, the observed diastereoselectivity is shown to be the result of an isomerization of t
