The total synthesis of seven members of the lapidilectine and grandilodine family of alkaloids has been accomplished in racemic and enantiopure form without protection/deprotection of functional groups. The two key steps, an 8-endo-dig hydroarylation and a 6-exo-trig photoredox cyclization, were catalyzed using gold. A rationale for the formation of the cyclopropane ring of the lundurines is also provided.
