Details of a biogenetically inspired strategy that led to the synthesis of the hetidine‐type C 20 ‐diterpenoid alkaloid skeleton are reported in this paper. Key steps of our synthesis include a C—H oxidation to convert the atisine‐type core to the ajaconine skeleton, as well as an aza ‐Prins cyclization that establishes the hetidine alkaloid skeleton. An unexpected heptacyclic framework bearing a unique tricyclo[3.3.1.0 2,7 ]nonane moiety has been obtained during our studies, which may represent a new type of C 20 ‐diterpenoid alkaloids yet to be discovered.
