Challenging : (+)‐gelsemine was synthesized from ( R , R )‐aziridine 1 in 25 steps with approximately 1 % overall yield. A multistep, one‐pot enol–oxonium cyclization cascade was used to construct, simultaneously, the E ring, F ring, C3 stereocenter, and C7 quaternary stereocenter. This synthesis using the enol–oxonium cyclization reaction as a key step to make the cage structure has demonstrated the proposed biosynthetic pathway of the gelsemine family.
