An asymmetric synthesis of (−)‐(4 R )‐dihydroisomyricoidine ( 28 ), a 13‐membered amino lactam of type A, was performed by a diastereoselective Michael addition between the spermidine derivative 3 and the commercially available optically active ethyl carboxylate 4 , and the cyclization of the resulting ω‐amino acid 7 using diethyl phosphorocyanidate ((EtO) 2 POCN), followed by a Wittig reaction to introduce the ( Z )‐side chain. Some side reactions are also discussed.
