Pyridine (40 mL, 492 mmol) was added in a single portion to a chilled solution (0° C.) of indole (48 g, 410 mmol) in diethyl ether (820 mL). Ethyl chlorooxoacetate (50 mL, 451 mmol) was added dropwise. The resulting suspension was allowed to warm to ambient temperature over a period of 20 hours. The solid was isolated by filtration and washed with diethyl ether. The solid was combined with water (1 L), stirred for 1 hour, and then isolated by filtration to provide 75 g of ethyl (1H-indol-3-yl)(oxo)acetate.
