A mild and convenient synthesis of carbazoles by TfOTMS (trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate)‐catalyzed ring‐opening annulation of 2‐amidodihydrofurans is presented with a high degree of chemoselectivity and regioselectivity. This procedure was also scaled up to a gram‐scale synthesis. The reaction could involve an iminonium intermediate through a series of CO, CN bond cleavages, CC bond formations, and a 1,2‐migration process.
