Out of the blue : The convergent asymmetric total synthesis of the antitumor antibiotic (−)‐cribrostatin 4 from the blue sponge Cribrochalina features asymmetric Staudinger and Pictet–Spengler reactions to form the tetrahydroisoquinoline moiety. These reactions were followed by a reductive opening/elimination of a tricyclic β‐lactam and a Pictet–Spengler cyclization to access the unsaturated pentacyclic core.
