This paper described a concise construction of (−)‐EGCG ( 1f ) (with an overall yield of 20% for seven steps based on the starting cinnamyl alcohol derivative 3 ), featuring asymmetric dihydroxylation (ADH), intra‐ and inter‐ molecular Mitsunobu reaction as key steps. Our strategy disclosed herein constitutes a new effective general synthetic approach toward the analogues of (−)‐EGCG ( 1f ).
