3,4,6-Trisubstituted-2-pyrone synthesis via the nucleophilic addition of 2-alkyl Meldrum's acid to alkynyl ketone has been developed. The reaction of 2-alkyl Meldrum's acid with alkynyl ketones provided 3,4,6-trisubstituted-2-pyrones in good yields. The reaction of dialkynyl ketones gave 6-alkynyl-2-pyrones.
