Tetrahydrocarbazoles and perhydrocyclohepta[b]indoles undergo a catalytic cascade singlet oxygenation in alkaline medium, which leads to chiral tricyclic perhydropyrido‐ and perhydroazepino[1,2‐a]indoles in a single operation. These photooxygenation products are new synthetic equivalents of uncommon C,N‐diacyliminium ions and can be functionalized with the aid of phosphoric acid organocatalysis.
