It is shown that the glucose residue in betanin is attached at the 5‐hydroxyl group (structure 2 ): Treatment of betanin with diazomethane, acidic hydrolysis and acetylation afforded 5‐O‐acetyl‐6‐O‐methyl‐neobetanidin trimethylester ( 9 ), which was cleaved by alkali. The cleavage product was esterified with methanol and oxydized by means of F RÉMY salt to 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methoxy‐2‐methoxycarbonyl‐indole ( 15 ).
