The first stereoselective synthesis of the cytotoxic polyketide (4 R )‐1‐(3,5‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐4‐hydroxypentan‐2‐one ( 1 ) was achieved from readily available propylene oxide and 3,5‐dimethoxybenzyl alcohol. The synthesis involves Jacobsen 's hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) and Grignard reaction as key steps.
