The 11‐amino‐azaelliptitoxin analog (11R,11aS,5R)‐15 has been prepared stereoselectively in eight steps and 24 % overall yield from commercially available (S)‐glycidol (7) via the original enantiopure chiral α‐amino aldehyde 9, used as chiral precursor for the creation of the two other stereogenic centers of the target framework.
