At long last : The enantioselective total synthesis of the title compound, which was isolated in 1958, proceeds by a convergent approach. The assembly of the C, D‐ring fragment and the A‐ring fragment of the core structure is achieved by employing a Reformatsky‐type reaction. The eight‐membered carbocyclic B ring is efficiently constructed by a challenging ring‐closing metathesis (see scheme).
