A tandem Bischler–Napieralski/semipinacol rearrangement reaction has been developed for the purpose of assembling a bis(spirocyclic) indole framework, a privileged structural unit of aspidofractinine‐type monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, and was used in combination with a subsequent Mannich reaction...
