We report a full account of our work towards the development of an eight‐step synthesis of anti‐influenza drug (−)‐oseltamivir (Tamiflu) from commercially available starting materials. The final synthetic route proceeds with an overall yield of 30 %. Key transformations include a novel palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction (Pd‐AAA) as well as a rhodium‐catalyzed chemo‐, regio‐, and stereoselective aziridination reaction.
