Ever since the pioneering synthetic work reported by both Inubushi and Heathcock back in 1980s, the fawcettimine-type Lycopodium alkaloids have continuously served as a driving force for discoveries in organic synthesis. In this personal account, we summarized our recent synthetic efforts towards the total synthesis of fawcettimine-type Lycopodium alkaloids, along with a brief summary of relevant syntheses reported by others. Our discussions focus mainly on the key reactions applied during the synthesis of fawcettimine-type Lycopodium alkaloids
