Total Synthesis of (±)‐Alstoscholarisine A

The first total synthesis of the neuroactive indole alkaloid (±)-alstoscholarisine A is reported. The key step of the concise synthesis is an efficient domino sequence that was used to assemble the 2,8-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core through the formation of two C-N bonds and one C-C bond in a single step.
