A one pot synthesis of 1 H ‐benzo[g]indoles, tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinolines, and naphtho[1,2‐b]azepines from 2‐alkynyl benzaldehydes and cyclic amino acids is reported. The salient feature of the strategy involves formation of three new bonds (one CN and two CC bonds) by a metal‐free decarboxylation/cyclization/one‐carbon ring expansion sequence in one pot.
