A concise and enantioselective total synthesis of (+)‐jungermatrobrunin A ( 1 ), which features a unique bicyclo[3.2.1]octene ring skeleton with an unprecedented peroxide bridge, was accomplished in 13 steps by making use of a late‐stage visible‐light‐mediated Schenck ene reaction of (−)‐1α,6α‐diacetoxyjungermannenone C ( 2 ). Along the way, a UV‐light‐induced bicyclo[3.2.1]octene ring rearrangement afforded (+)‐12‐hydroxy‐1α,6α‐diacetoxy‐ ent ‐kaura‐9(11),16‐dien‐15‐one ( 4 ). These divergent photo‐induced skeletal rearrangements support a possible biogenetic relationship between (+)‐ 1 , (−)‐ 2 , and (+)‐ 4 .
