Phthalimido derivatives of cyanosafracin B have been synthesized as analogues of the antitumor agent ecteinascidin 743. As part of this study, a quinoneimine has been prepared, which is a kinetically stable tautomer of a 5‐hydroxyindole. This quinoneimine tautomer is stable under acidic and mild basic conditions.
