Pitstop 2 binds to the clathrin terminal domain. This work explores the nature of the benzylidene moiety, R. The synthesis of 56 novel analogues reveals enhanced potency of a multiple analogues, with catechol‐free 2,3‐dihydroxybenzo[b][1,4]dioxone (54) returning a 1.2 μm IC50, ca 10‐fold more active than Pitstop 2. Pitstop 2, (Z)‐N‐(5‐(4‐bromenzylidene)
