A new cross‐cycloaddition reaction between a wide range of isocyanides and 2‐isocyanochalcones (or analogues) was developed for the expeditious synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4‐b]indoles under thermal conditions. On the basis of the experimental results and DFT calculations, a mechanism for this domino reaction is proposed involving chemoselective heterodimerization of two different isocyanides to form 1,4‐diazabutatriene intermediates, followed by an intramolecular [3+2]‐cycloaddition and 1,3‐proton shift.
