A deprotonated α‐aminonitrile serves as a key intermediate in a highly efficient (95 % per step on average; see scheme) modular synthetic approach to the lamellarin alkaloids. Its reaction with an α,β‐unsaturated aldehyde forms the central pyrrole ring in a one‐pot procedure. The construction of the fused pentacyclic skeleton is completed by a microwave‐assisted Ullmann‐type lactone formation.
