An improved enantioselective synthesis of the natural product (–)‐preussochromone D ( 3 ) and first insights into a possible route to the trans ‐preussochromones E and F are described. Starting from commercially available 5‐hydroxy‐4 H ‐chromen‐4‐one, two stereocenters are established via auxiliary controlled Michael addition in excellent yield and stereoselectivity. Subsequent build‐up of the five‐membered ring gave access to (–)‐preussochromone D in an improved overall yield and less synthetic steps than previously reported. The total syntheses of preussochromones E and F on a related route were also investigated and first findings are reported herein.
