Adding links to the chain : A quadruple homologation of a boronic ester converts a simple vinyl iodide into a complex precursor to faranal with very high levels of diastereo‐ and enantiocontrol. This enables the synthesis of (+)‐faranal to be completed in just six steps and 18 % overall yield from propyne.
