An effective combination: With the first asymmetric total synthesis of fawcettimine (1) it has been shown that the use of organocatalytic annulation and gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization reactions provides an effective combination for the synthesis of complex molecules. The absolute configuration of 1 was established through an X-ray structure analysis of its hydrobromide. (Figure Presented).
