A photo op : The concise total syntheses of (±)‐decursivine and (±)‐serotobenine were achieved by using the titled cascade reaction, which is modeled on the biomimetic pathway. The synthesis of (±)‐decursivine, which exhibits antimalarial activity, was carried out in five steps without using protecting groups.
