A stereoselective synthesis of (+)-epiquinamide is presented in combination with determination of the absolute configuration of the natural product. Key steps in the sequence involved chemoenzymatic formation of an enantiomerically pure cyanohydrin, reductive cyclization to the corresponding cyclic N,N-acetal, and subsequent conversion into a suitable N-acyliminium ion precursor to enable construction of the second ring.
