The first total synthesis of the 3,5‐disubstituted indolizidine toad alkaloid 239Q from the known pyrrolidine 1 has been achieved, in seven steps with a 35 % overall yield. The relative stereochemistry of natural 239Q was determined unambiguously by comparison of GC‐FTIR spectra of synthetic material with the skin extracts of the toad Melanophryniscus cupreuscapularis . The C7 congeners at the 5‐position ( 12 and 13 ) showed strong antagonist activities on the α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
