The total synthesis and structural revision of antibiotic CJ‐16,264 is described. Starting with citronellal, the quest for the target molecule featured a novel bis‐transannular Diels–Alder reaction that casted stereoselectively the decalin system and included the synthesis of six isomers before demystification of its true structure.
