The first asymmetric total synthesis of (−)‐ophiodilactone A and (−)‐ophiodilactone B, isolated from the ophiuroid (Ophiocoma scolopendrina), is reported. The key features of the synthesis include the highly stereocontrolled construction of the structurally congested γ‐lactone/δ‐lactone skeleton through an asymmetric epoxidation, diastereoselective iodolactonization, and intramolecular epoxide‐opening with a carboxylic acid, and biomimetic radical cyclization of ophiodilactone A to ophiodilactone B.
