A new methodology taking advantage of gold(I)‐catalyzed ring expansion has been developed to assemble tricyclic 1 H ‐azocino[5,4‐ b ]indoles from 2‐propargyl‐β‐tetrahydrocarbolines. The azocinoindoles were obtained in moderate to excellent yields; the structure of which was established by X‐ray crystallographic analysis. A mechanism involving regioselective intramolecular hydroarylation, [1,2]‐alkenyl migration and carbon–carbon bond‐fragmentation was proposed.
