A new Pd-catalyzed route to (Β±)-podophyllotoxin is disclosed. The strategy is based on an efficient organoaqueous reaction that diastereoselectively introduces the C-4 hydroxyl group and the furan ring. Further functionalization led to an iododerivative, which was cyclized under optimized conditions
