A mixture of 2-chloroindole-3-carboxaldehyde (7.0 g, 36 mmol) was reacted with a slight excess of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and pyridine in refluxing EtOH for 1 hour, to give the crude oxime (Latrell R, Bartmann W, Musif J, Granzer E, German Patent 2,707,268, 31 Aug 1978, Chem. Abstr. 1978;89:179858y). A solution of this in Ac2O (100 mL) was heated under reflux for 1 hour, cooled, and stirred with water (700 mL). The precipitated solid was collected, washed with water, and crystallized from aqueous MeOH to give 2-chloro-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (3.7 g, 58%); mp 177°-180° C.
