We report the enantioselective total syntheses of zeylenol (+)‐ 1 , as well as its congeners (−)‐ 7 and 16 , and of 3‐ O ‐debenzoylzeylenone 28 . To this end, a new variant of the Kornblum–DeLaMare rearrangement, which utilises neighbouring‐group participation to impart regioselectivity, has been developed. The approach employs photooxygenation of building blocks derived from a microbial arene oxidation product.
