Total synthesis of (–)‐lentiginosine ( 1 ) was achieved in nine steps from (3 R ,4 R )‐3,4‐dihydroxy‐1,5‐hexadiene ( 2 ). Cross metathesis, vinyl addition and DDQ oxidation were applied to generate the key 3‐oxonona‐1,4,8‐triene 6 , which was cyclised to 4‐oxopiperidine 7 by diastereoselective double aza‐Michael reaction. Both theoretical and empirical studies support that the stereochemical assignment of the major Michael adduct is the desired (2 R )‐4‐oxopiperidine 7 .
