A pivotal intramolecular Michael addition to form a fused 5,7,5 ring system and the skeleton of (−)‐galanthamine ( 1 ) was completely controlled by a remote chiral imidazolidinone auxiliary derived from D ‐phenylalanine (see scheme). This total synthesis of the allylic alcohol 1 avoids the corresponding enone narwedine, a highly allergenic intermediate in previous syntheses of 1 .
