The first synthesis of the Solanum alkaloid tomatidine was achieved in 24.9 % (longest linear sequence) through addition of a chiral organolithium fragment to a protected dinorcholanic lactone derived from commercially available diosgenin. This approach enabled the multigram synthesis with the goal to support further studies of its antibiotic properties against persistent forms of Staphylococcus aureus
