A new synthetic approach to furo[2′,3′:3,4]cyclohepta[1,2‐b]indolium chlorides is elaborated starting from 2‐acetylaminoaryldifurylmethanes or 2‐aminoaryldifurylmethanes under treatment with methanolic HCl solution. The reaction proceeds in three steps: recyclization, intramolecular cyclization, and disproportionation. In this case the furan ring takes part in building up both pyrrole and seven‐membered rings. The same salts can be obtained directly from 2‐acetylaminobenzaldehydes and 2‐methylfuran under similar conditions without isolation of corresponding 2‐acetylaminoaryldifurylmethanes.

## Abstract For the first time, tetracyclic compounds, namely, furo[2′,3′:3,4]cyclohepta[1,2‐b]indoles were synthesized by recyclization of __ortho__‐substituted aryldifurylmethanes containing __tert__‐butyl groups at C5 positions of the furan rings. It was shown that [2‐(benzoylamino)phenyl]bis(5‐
