A concise, scalable, and an efficient total synthesis for dronedarone (2) was described using conjugate addition followed by intramolecular Heck cyclization. The other key reaction includes selective reduction of nitro functionality and addition of lithiated terminal alkyne to the aldehyde. The overall yield of this approach is 44% in six steps.
