The first total synthesis of bruceol has been achieved using a biomimetic cascade cyclization initiated by a stereoselective Jacobsen–Katsuki epoxidation (and kinetic resolution) of racemic protobruceol‐I. A bacterial cytochrome P450 monooxygenase was also found to catalyze the conversion of protobruceol‐I into bruceol. The first full analysis of the NMR data of natural bruceol suggested that “isobruceol”
