'Melo' out : A concise asymmetric synthesis of (−)‐melotenine A has been accomplished in fourteen steps and 1 % overall yield from commercial N ‐tosylindole‐3‐carboxaldehyde. Key steps include a Piers annulation, an intermolecular vinylogous aldol reaction, and a novel one‐pot sequence to prepare the ABCE tetracycle. Boc= tert ‐butoxycarbonyl, Ts=4‐toluenesulfonyl.
