A highly enantioselective synthesis of loline alkaloids in 11 steps will be presented. Key features include a highly anti-selective Mannich reaction of a chiral imine with a cyclic alpha-aminoester followed by oxidative coupling leading to the formation of a fused bicyclic system with a nitrogen atom at the bridgehead.
