A convergent synthesis of bafilomycin A 1 (see structure) is presented, and relies on the Zn(OTf) 2 ‐mediated diastereoselective addition of alkynes to aldehydes. The coupling of a complex enyne with a sensitive aldehyde in the key step, in combination with a novel strategy for a chemoselective trans ‐reduction of the enyne, establishes an alternative to standard palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling strategies for the formation of 1,3‐dienes.
