The first total synthesis of the 2,3,5‐ O ‐( S , R )‐nonahydroxytriphenoylated (NHTP) C ‐glucosidic ellagitannin (−)‐vescalin was accomplished through a series of transformations mimicking the sequence of events leading to its biogenesis. The key steps of this synthesis encompass a Wittig‐mediated ring opening of a glucopyranosic hemiacetal, a C‐glucosidation event through a phenolic aldol‐type reaction, and a Wynberg–Feringa–Yamada‐type oxidative phenolic coupling, which forged the NHTP unit of (−)‐vescalin.
