Here we report the use of the hexadehydro-Diels–Alder (HDDA) reaction for the de novo construction of a benzenoid ring in fused polycyclic heteroaromatic carbazole (i.e., [2,3]-benzoindole) skeletons. The strategy allows creation of highly substituted benzenoids. We also describe the HDDA-enabled chemical synthesis of the natural product alkaloids mahanimbine and koenidine. Trapping of the intermediate carbazolyne with a conjugated enal–proceeding through formal [2+2] cycloaddition, 4π-electrocyclic ring-opening, and 6π-electrocyclic ring-closing events—constitutes a robust method for producing pyranocarbazoles.
