The title synthesis was first achieved by employing novel methoxycarbonylation of the C-4-position of the 5-aminoindoline by way of the isatin and subsequent Dieckmann cyclization to the methyl 2-methylindoxyl-2- carboxylate as key steps. In vitro cytotoxicity assay against P388 murine leukemia obviously disclosed that cytotoxicities of the synthesized compounds are comparable and almost half of that of natural (+)-duocarmycin A.
