Polyene synthesis : An efficient approach to the total synthesis of polyene natural product dihydroxrulin ( 1 ) is described. A novel, mild, direct organocatalytic IBX‐mediated dehydrogenation process of simple alcohols to enals has been developed, which serves as a key step in the synthesis (see scheme).
