Enantioselective synthesis in a new light : The template‐controlled [2+2] photocycloaddition leading to product 1 is the first example of this type of reaction in natural product synthesis. In addition, a retro‐benzilic acid rearrangement (→ 2 ), a Claisen rearrangement (→ 3 ), and a ring‐closing metathesis played decisive roles in the synthesis of the alkaloid (+)‐meloscine ( 4 ).
