    Abstract

    A total synthesis of (+)-galanthamine [(+)-1] has been achieved using the readily available and enantiomerically pure metabolite 2 as starting material. The quaternary carbon centre (C8a) associated with target 1 was constructed using the EschenmoserClaisen rearrangement reaction.
