A short enantioselective synthesis of phoracantholide I [( R )‐ 4 ] (ee = 91 %), a component of the defensive secretion of the eucalypt longicorn Phoracantha synonyma , is described. Key steps of the synthesis are the enantioselective α‐alkylation of cyclononanone SAMP hydrazone [( S )‐ 1 ] (de > 93%) and subsequent Baeyer‐Villiger reaction of the ketone ( R )‐ 3 with retention of configuration.
