A practical and efficient approach for the total synthesis of the (±)‐lophirone F hexamethyl ether was reported. The compound was synthesized in 8 steps with a 14.6 % overall yield. The key features of this synthesis are the stereoselective synthesis of a 2,5‐diaryl‐3,4‐disubstituted tetrahydrofuran skeleton via a sequence of [3+2] cycloaddition/Krapcho decarboxylation and the installation of two aryl ketone groups bypassing potential epimerization of adjacent stereocenters.
