The total synthesis of nyingchinoids A and B has been achieved through successive rearrangements of a 1,2‐dioxane intermediate that was assembled using a visible‐light photoredox‐catalysed aerobic [2+2+2] cycloaddition. Nyingchinoid D was synthesised with a competing [2+2] cycloaddition. Based on NMR data and biosynthetic speculation, we proposed a structure revision of the related natural product rasumatranin D, which was confirmed through total synthesis. Under photoredox conditions, we observed the conversion of a cyclobutane into a 1,2‐dioxane through retro‐[2+2] cycloaddition followed by aerobic [2+2+2] cycloaddition.
