To a solution of 6-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indole (3.9 g, 24 mmol) in acetonitrile (200 mL) and DMF (20 mL) is added dropwise a solution of ClSO2NCO (4 mL, 1.3 eq.) in acetonitrile (31 mL) at 0° C. After the addition, the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Then it is poured into ice water and saturated NaHCO3 is added to it until it becomes basic. The aqueous phase is extracted with CH2Cl2 and then evaporated. The residue is purified with flash column chromatography on silica gel using EtOAc/petroleum ether (1/5) as eluent to yield 81% of 6-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile.
