Abstract
[formula: see text] The first chiral auxiliary mediated asymmetric synthesis of the naturally occurring Lycopodium alkaloid (+)-luciduline has been accomplished. Key steps include an IMDA reaction of a chiral dihydropyridine, a subsequent retro-Mannich ring opening, and a novel cationic reductive cyclization reaction.
