We describe herein an improved chiral‐pool strategy for assembling the core structure 3 (both antipodes) of various A‐ seco terpenoids that have allowed us to prepare natural galbanic acid [(–)‐ 1 ] from ( S )‐(–)‐pulegone [(–)‐ 2 ]. Furthermore, we were able to increase both the yield and step efficiency of the synthesis of marneral [(+)‐ 7 ] as well as to access higher homologues of ent ‐galbanic acid [(+)‐ 4 ], ent ‐secodrial [(+)‐ 5 ], and bis‐ epi ‐secochiliotrin ( 6 ) from ( R )‐(+)‐pulegone [(+)‐ 2 ].
