By a selective three‐component multi‐catalytic sequence, amino‐catalyzed oxa‐Michael addition of oximes to α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes has been combined with a copper‐catalyzed decarboxylative aldolization. This one‐pot procedure enables the rapid construction of functionalized ketodiol scaffolds in 85 to 94% ee . Simple reduction of both the resulting oxime and ketone functions delivered the corresponding 1,3,5‐triols of interest in a minimum of steps while considerably limiting waste generation. This methodology has been applied to the shortest (4 steps) synthesis of (+)‐yashabushitriol, highlighting the synthetic potential of this new multi‐catalytic sequence.
