โฆ Synopsis
A short and efficient synthesis of the 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-elindole (2) ring system of the antitumor antibiotic CC-1065 (1) from ethyl-5-aminoindole-2-carboxylate 3 was made possible by the inherent regioselectivity of the [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of the azasulfonium ylide 4 and a thiation-reduction sequence for oxindole to indoline conversion. As part of our ongoing study of structure-activity relationships of analogs of the novel and highly potent antitumor antibiotic, CC-1065 (l)', we were interested in efficiently preparing the 1,2dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-elindole ring system (2) contained in the middle and right-hand segmentsof the natural product.2
