| Abstract: | Total syntheses of the dimeric tetrahydroxanthone natural products secalonic acids A and D are described. Key steps involve kinetic resolution of the tetrahydroxanthone core structure using homobenzotetramisole catalysis and late‐stage copper(I)‐mediated homodimerization of complex aryl stannane monomers. |
