A short and efficient enantioselective approach to pinguisane‐type sesquiterpenes has been developed starting from a Hajos–Parrish‐type ketone. This led to the first total syntheses of isonaviculol (10 steps, 6.6 % overall yield) and natural pinguisenol (9 steps, 12 % overall yield). The key reactions were regioselective thioketal protection, stereoselective cyclopropanation using Furukawa's protocol, diastereoselective hydrogenation of an olefin using a Thalesnano H‐Cube Pro flow reactor, Li/liquid NH 3 mediated cyclopropane reduction, and a PCC‐mediated 1,3‐oxidative transposition sequence.
