Access to the eight‐membered cyclic ether ( rac )‐ and (–)‐ cis ‐lauthisan was achieved in two complementary ways in only four steps for the longest linear sequence by starting from commercially available materials. The sequence features a cis ‐stereoselective reductive cyclization as the key step.
