A general synthesis of 4-keto-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindoles 6-12 has been achieved in two steps using a new intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition approach in moderate yields (45-60%). The potential of this methodology is demonstrated by the synthesis of a mitomycin skeleton (15) and a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor skeleton (17).
