✦ Synopsis
The regioselectivity of the cobalt-mediated cocyclisation of alkynes with allenic hydrocarbons leading to 4-and 5-alkylidenecyclopentenones was shown to depend on the substitution pattern of both the acetylenic and allenic components. An initial pseudoaxial coordination of the allenic hydrocarbon may account for the formation of the 5-alkylidenecyclopentenone from acetylene.

## Abstract The carbonyldicobalt‐mediated alkyne/allene/CO cocyclization gives 4‐alkylidenecyclopentenones as the major [2+2+1] cycloadducts. The regio‐ and stereoselectivities depend mainly on the substitution pattern of both the alkyne and the allenic moieties, which can be rationalized using the
