An asymmetric, organocatalytic, one‐pot Mannich cyclization between a hydroxylactam and acetal is described to provide fused, bicyclic alkaloids bearing a bridgehead N atom. Both aliphatic and aromatic substrates were used in this transformation to furnish chiral pyrrolizidinone, indolizidinone, and quinolizidinone derivatives in up to 89 % yield and 97 % ee . The total syntheses of (−)‐epilupinine, (−)‐tashiromine, and (−)‐trachelanthamidine also achieved to demonstrate the generality of the process.
