## Abstract A sixβstep asymmetric total synthesis of (20__S__)βcamptothecin (**1**) has been accomplished in 25% overall yield starting from the known pyridone **3**. The key steps in this synthesis are the chemoselective Niβcatalyzed hydrogenation of 3βcyanopyridone **6** to 3βformylpyridone **7**
from ( 4 ) or ( 5 ) on heating to room temperature-instead complete polymerization of the ketene occurs.
