AbstractArcyriacyanin A (1) has been synthesized by three different routes. In the first synthesis the bisbromomagnesium salt of 2,4′‐biindole (5) was treated with dibromomaleimide (6) to yield arcyriacyanin A (1). The second approach used an intramolecular Heck reaction for the cyclization of a 4‐(triflyloxy)arcyriarubin8toN‐methylarcyriacyanin A (2). Thirdly, compound2was obtained by a domino Heck reaction between 3‐bromo‐4‐[1‐(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)indol‐3‐yl]‐1‐methylmaleimide (9) and 4‐bromoindole (10). TheN‐methyl derivative2could be transformed into arcyriacya
