The first total synthesis of an epidithiodiketopiperazine alkaloid, (+)‐MPC1001B, was accomplished. This synthesis features a tetra‐ n ‐butylammonium fluoride mediated intramolecular aldol reaction for forming the 15‐membered macrolactone ring, and the construction of an epidithiodiketopiperazine substructure through a stepwise sulfenylation reaction involving a novel trityl trisulfide (TrSSS)‐group transfer.
