The first enantiospecific total synthesis of (+)‐pleuromutilin is reported. A SmI 2 ‐mediated cyclisation cascade allows access to the tricyclic core of the antibacterial natural product, constructing the five‐ and eight‐membered rings in a single step, with high diastereocontrol. For more details, see the Full Paper by D. J. Procter et al. on page 6718 ff.
