A new method for one‐step construction of the tetracyclic core structure of the indole alkaloid (+)‐minfiensine was developed utilizing a palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric indole dearomatization/iminium cyclization cascade. An efficient total synthesis of (+)‐minfiensine was realized using this strategy. The present method enables access to the common core structure of a series of monoterpene indole alkaloids, such as vincorine, echitamine, and aspidosphylline A.
