A short synthesis (28percent overall yield) of the naturally occuring indolequinone BE 10988 1 is described.The synthesis starts from the 4-benzyloxy-5-methoxyindole and involves, as key steps, the use of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate to introduce the amide side-chain into the indole 3-position, followed by thioamide formation and construction of the thiazole ring using a Hantzsch reaction.
