The first enantioselective total synthesis of lycopodine has been completed. Key steps include a highly diastereoselective organocatalyzed cyclization of a keto sulfone to establish the key C7 and C8 stereocenters and a tandem 1,3-sulfonyl shift/intramolecular Mannich cyclization to form the tricyclic core.

sequence include organocatalytic, intramolecular Michael addition of a keto sulfone and a tandem 1,3-sulfonyl shift/Mannich cyclization to construct the tricyclic core ring system. Synthetic work toward this natural product family led to the development of N-(p-dodecylphenylsulfonyl)-2-pyrrolidinecarboxamide, an organocatalyst which facilitiates enantioselective, intramolecular Michael additions. A detailed
