Leucosceptroids A and B are sesterterpenoids with potent antifeedant and antifungal activities. A more efficient gram‐scale total synthesis of leucosceptroid B and the first total synthesis of leucosceptroid A are presented. The key transformations include an aldol reaction between a substituted dihydrofuranone and an ( S )‐citronellal‐derived aldehyde, a SmI 2 ‐mediated intramolecular ketyl–olefin radical cyclization, and final‐stage alcohol oxidation.
