The first total synthesis of anominine has been achieved, and the absolute configuration of the product has been determined. The key features include the development of a new, highly efficient organocatalyzed method for the asymmetric synthesis of Wieland-Miescher ketone building blocks, an unusual selenoxide [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, and a ZrCl(4)-catalyzed indole coupling as well as several chemoselective transformations controlled by the structurally congested nature of the bicyclic core.

An unprecedented C−C coupling reaction between alkenes and ketones by hydrogen‐atom transfer, using Fe(acac)3 and PhSiH3 in EtOH, is described. This mild protocol features high site selectivity and allows the construction of sterically congested structures containing tertiary alcohols and quaternary centers. The overall process introduces a novel strategic bond disconnection for ring‐closing reactions
