An inside job : Enantioselective phthalide synthesis was achieved through internal redox allylation of o ‐phthalaldehydes. Oxidative esterification is balanced by reductive carbonyl addition to achieve an overall redox‐neutral process. This method enabled formal syntheses of ent ‐spirolaxine methyl ether and CJ‐12,954.
