Procedure
Hydrogen chloride was bubbled through a solution of 3 g (176 mmol) of 1-methylindole-3-acetonitrile and 8.28 g (88 mmol) of phenol in 70 ml of dry diethyl ether for 2 hours and the resulting solution was left to stand for 4 days. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residual gum was triturated with diethyl ether to give 1.4 g (30%) of 1-methyl3-indoleacetimidate hydrochloride in the form of a purple solid of melting point 119° C.
