A new synthesis of an indole ring based on an electrocyclic reaction of a 2-alkenyl-3-allenylpyrrole intermediate generating from 2-ethenyl-3- propargylpyrrole was established. A synthesis of 5-methylindole-4,7-quinone (1) was completed in seven steps from the 4-oxygenated 5-methylindole (13a). It was demonstrated that the structure of natural product (1), isolated from Dropella fragum, is not at least 5-methylindole-4,7-quinone (1).
