Quick access : A concise and efficient formal synthesis of platencin has been accomplished in nine steps from a commercially available starting material. The synthesis utilized only one protecting group. The base‐catalyzed Michael cyclization of precursor 1 afforded the key diketone 2 , which was converted into the desired core structure 4 via the radical intermediate 3 .
