As easy as ABCD : (−)‐Jiadifenin was synthesized in eighteen reaction steps from 1‐[( E )‐(4′‐bromo‐2′‐butenyl)oxy]‐4‐methoxybenzene. Key features of this synthesis include: 1) Ireland–Claisen rearrangement to produce the two contiguous quaternary centers at C5 and C6 simultaneously, 2) intramolecular Pauson–Khand reaction (IMPKR) to concurrently construct the A and B rings, and 3) [2+2] photo‐cycloaddition to generate the all‐carbon quaternary center at C9.
