A concise synthesis of pyrano[3,2‐ e ]indole alkaloid fontanesine B by a Fischer indolization is described. This key Fischer indolization starts with the pyran‐ring and alkene intact, facilitating potential synthetic applications. Furthermore, fontanesine B and its isomer were evaluated for in vitro antiproliferative activity against human colorectal cancer cells. The isomer of fontanesine B showed higher antiproliferative activity than the natural product, fontanesine B ( 2 ).
