Reaction Steps

Combine 2-carboethoxy-4,6-dichloroindole (10.0 g, 0.039 mol), and dimethylformamide (4.5 mL, 0.057 mol) in dichloroethane (20 mL). Add phosphoryl chloride (8.9 g, 0.058 mmol). Heat to 80° C. After 18 hours, cool the reaction mixture to ambient temperature and combine with aqueous 1 M sodium acetate solution and stir. After 18 hours, filter, rinse with water, and dry to give 3-formyl-2-carboethoxy-4,6-dichloroindole.
