Summary:(−)‐Daphnilongeranin B and (−)‐daphenylline are two hexacyclic Daphniphyllum alkaloids, each containing a complex cagelike backbone. Described herein are the first asymmetric total synthesis of (−)‐daphnilongeranin B and a bioinspired synthesis of (−)‐daphenylline with an unusual E ring embedded in a cagelike framework. The key features include an intermolecular [3+2] cycloaddition, a late‐stage aldol cyclization to install the F ring of daphnilongeranin B, and a bioinspired cationic rearrangement leading to the tetrasubstituted benzene ring of daphenylline. Zwei vom gleichen Schlag: Die hexacyclischen Daphniphyllum‐Alkaloide (−)‐Daphnilongeranin B und (−)‐Daphenyllin wurden aus einem gemeinsamen pentacyclischen Intermediat synthetisiert. Schlüsselschritte sind eine intermolekulare [3+2]‐Cyclisierung, eine späte Aldolcyclisierung zur Einführung des Cyclopentenonrings von Daphnilongeranin B und eine bioinspirierte kationische Umlagerung, die zum tetrasubstituierten Benzolring von Daphenyllin führt.
