Vinigrol at last : A unique tricyclic framework and eight contiguous stereogenic centers have made vinigrol a challenging but highly prized target for the synthetic community. The first total synthesis of vinigrol was recently completed by Baran and co‐workers using an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction, a Grob fragmentation, and a series of creative endgame functionalization reactions.
