The racemic alkaloids chanoclavine I ( 1 ) and isochanoclavine I ( 2 ) have been synthesized stereoselectively from indole‐4‐carbaldehyde ( 3 ) by a sequence of 11 operations in overall yields of 14% and 2.4%, respectively. The key step 6 → 8 (Scheme 2) involves a transient nitrone 7 which undergoes a regio‐ and stereoselective intramolecular cycloaddition to a 1,2‐disubstituted olefinic bond.
