The total synthesis of (+)‐cavicularin is described. The synthesis features an enantio‐ and regioselective pyrone Diels–Alder reaction of a vinyl sulfone to construct the cyclophane architecture of the natural product. The Diels–Alder substrate was prepared by a regioselective one‐pot three‐component Suzuki reaction of a non‐symmetric dibromoarene.
