A chirality transfer approach using acyclic polyol intermediates for the synthesis of (+)‐neostenine ( 1 ) has been developed. The sequential Overman/Claisen rearrangement of an allylic 1,2‐diol was especially useful, installing two contiguous stereocenters with complete diastereoselectivity in a one‐pot sequence. The SmI 2 ‐mediated cyclization and the subsequent chemoselective reduction of a lactam moiety accomplished the first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)‐neostenine ( 1 ).
