A practical and asymmetric process for the total synthesis of (+)‐biotin ( 1 ) has been accomplished starting from cis ‐1,3‐dibenzyl‐2‐oxoimidazolidine‐4,5‐dicarboxylic acid ( 2 ). This approach features a highly enantioselective alcoholysis of meso ‐cyclic anhydride 3 into (4 S ,5 R )‐cinnamyl hemiester 4 mediated by Cinchona alkaloids. Another attractive feature of this synthesis involves the use of recyclable palladium nanoparticles‐catalyzed assembly of the 4‐carboxybutyl chain at C‐4 in (3 aS ,6 aR )‐thiolactone 7 employing an improved Fukuyama‐type cross‐coupling reaction
