A seven‐step stereoselective synthesis of (±)‐sweroside aglucone O ‐methyl ether ( 16a ) was achieved in 27% overall yield from 1, 4‐cyclohexadiene ( 4 ) and methyl diformylacetate ( 5 ). Secologanin aglucone O ‐methyl ether ( 18a ) was then formed from 16a in 90% overall yield by a straightforward process. The key step in the synthesis was a [2+2]‐enone‐photoannelation of 4 and 5 to form the key intermediate 6 which possessed the desired cis ‐fused ring configuration, and all the caron atoms needed to complete the synthesis of 16a and 18a .
