Unprecedented reactivity between naphthoquinone and β‐aryl‐α‐keto acids has been uncovered. The process combined the redox properties of the Michael‐type naphthoquinone acceptor with arylpyruvic acid, which is acting first as a C 3 ‐donor pro‐nucleophile and later as an acylating agent. As a result, densely substituted naphthofuran‐2(3 H )‐ones were generated in a mild and simple one‐pot reaction.
