[reaction: see text] A short stereoselective total synthesis of the polyketide natural product, tarchonanthuslactone, has been achieved. The key sequence involves the first reported catalytic enantioselective reduction of an N-acyl pyrrole and subsequent use of this stereocenter in a diastereoselective reductive cascade. This proceeded with unprecedentedly high stereocontrol and offered an elegant
