A simple and highly efficient stereoselectivetotalsynthesis of dodoneine (1), a naturally occurring bioactive 5,6‐dihydro‐2H‐pyran‐2‐one, was achieved. The synthesis involved Keck's asymmetric allylation, iodine‐induced electrophilic cyclization, and Grubbs' catalyzed ring‐closing metathesis as key steps.
