The first total synthesis of the Lycopodium alkaloid (+)-fastigiatine has been accomplished in 15 steps and 30% overall yield from known compounds. Noteworthy transformations include a convergent fragment coupling via a nucleophilic cyclopropane opening, a highly diastereoselective formal [3 + 3]-cycloaddition, and a transannular Mannich reaction to construct the core of the natural product.
