Haematopodin ( 1 ), a pigment from fruit bodies of the mushroom Mycena haematopus , was synthesized from 6,7‐bis‐(benzyloxy)indole ( 5 ). Key steps in the synthesis were the addition of 3‐[(2,4‐dimethoxybenzyl)amino]‐1‐propanol ( 11 ) to the indolo‐6,7‐quinone 10 and cyclization of the resulting adduct 12 with trifluoroacetic acid.
