One, two, three selective oxidations are the key steps in the atom‐economic first total synthesis of the natural ten‐membered lactone cephalosporolide G and its C‐3 epimer (see scheme). They have been synthesised in only seven or eight steps starting from the natural phenol ( R )‐rhododendrol, which contains all the carbon atoms present in the final targets.
