Right on Q : The first asymmetric total synthesis of (−)‐huperzine‐Q, which possesses six stereogenic centers and a spiroaminal moiety, has been achieved in 19 steps and 16.4 % overall yield. This synthesis involved a novel stereoselective Pauson–Khand reaction, a vinyl Claisen rearrangement, and a biomimetic spiroaminal formation. TBDPS= tert ‐butyldiphenylsilyl.
