A concise route to the core of complex cardenolides is described. The sequence features use of a sulfone to join enantioenriched A and D ring fragments and also control intramolecular aldolization to generate ring C and an intramolecular Heck cyclization of an α-sulfenyl enol triflate to form the steroid skeleton.
