Stereoconvergence is the aim of economic syntheses of natural products . Tedious saparation of the geissoschizine intermediate (3) from the by‐product (1) , which arises because of steric interactions between R and CH 3 , is avoided by hydrolyzing and cyclizing the mixture to the single dilactam (2) with trifluoroacetic anhydride. Regioselective ring opening leads only to (3) .
