The potent anticancer agent (−)‐laulimalide ( 1 ) was prepared through a versatile method that should allow access to other marine natural products. Key steps included a Pd‐catalyzed 1,3 chirality transfer of an allylic alcohol. The syn ‐S N 2′‐like processes occur stereospecifically in either 6‐ endo ‐trig or 6‐ exo ‐trig fashion to give the desired 3,6‐dihydro[2 H ]pyran rings (see scheme).
