Natural products with densely fused polycyclic frameworks, such as dalesconols A and B, pose longstanding challenges for asymmetric synthesis due to their intricate stereochemistry. Here, the authors report concise, enantioselective total syntheses via a triple-relayed remote chirality transfer strategy using palladium/norbornene catalysis.
