Abstract
The fawcettimine- and serratinine-type lycopodium alkaloids are a series of structurally complex but related natural products. These alkaloids have been the subjects of intense studies by the synthetic chemistry community, and many elegant strategies have been developed. Herein, we describe the recently disclosed synthetic strategies towards this unique family of natural products, in particular the synthetic endeavors from our research laboratory.

- 15 The dehydration of fawcettimine (1) to fawcettidine (2) was proposed and later realized by Inubushi et al. (see references 14b and 14c). The biogenetic hydration of 2 to 1 was also proposed by Gang and co-workers; see reference 1b.
- 16 The biosynthetic approach was proposed by Kobayashi and co-workers (see reference 8). Tu et al. reported the biomimetic transformation of (±)-alopecuridine (4) into (±)-sieboldine A (5); see reference 3j.
