Polyene synthesis: An efficient approach to the total synthesis of polyene naturalproduct dihydroxrulin (1) is described. A novel, mild, direct organocatalytic IBX‐mediated dehydrogenation process of simple alcohols to enals has been developed, which serves as a key step in the synthesis (see scheme).
