All‐in‐one : A new and general one‐pot reaction sequence initiated by singlet oxygen that transforms simple furan substrates into complex nitrogen‐bearing aromatic polycycles having all the structural features of a number of important natural products (for example, the erythrina alkaloids; see scheme, RB=rose Bengal) is reported. The reaction sequence itself uses mild conditions and has wide functional group tolerance.
