An efficient synthetic route toward the highly congested [5‐6‐7] tricyclic core of calyciphylline A‐type alkaloids has been developed. This approach features a highly efficient intramolecular Diels–Alder cycloaddition to establish the aza‐five‐membered C ring as well as the C1 all‐carbon quaternary center, and a subsequent cyclopropanation together with a ring‐expansion reaction of the resulted adduct to construct the seven‐membered D ring.
