The piperidine alkaloid (–)‐allosedamine ( 1 ) has been synthesized, in 21% overall yield, in nine steps starting from the formyl‐ester 4 . The synthesis features the reaction cascade 7 → 3 → 2 , involving asymmetric electrophilic enolate hydroxyamination, hydroxylamine/aldehyde condensation, and nitrone/styrene cycloaddition, as well as the reductive N/O cleavage‐decyanation 12 → 1 .
