A five-step, atom-efficient synthesis of the Galanthan tetracyclic skeleton has been developed. The key step is an unusual intramolecular de Mayo reaction using an isocarbostyril substrate with a functionalized tether on nitrogen. The target molecule is produced in 35% overall yield from isocarbostyril.
