Procedure

1-Ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indole (900 mg, 5.14 mmol) is dissolved in DMF (1.5 mL). This is added dropwise to an ice-cold solution of POCl3 (500 μL, 5.2 mmol) in DMF (1.75 ml). After stirring at room temperature for 90 minutes, the reaction mixture is re-cooled in an ice bath and is slowly quenched with 6N NaOH (4 mL). The reaction mixture is partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. Purification by silica gel chromatography (EtOAc/CH2Cl2, 5/95) yields 1-ethyl-6-methoxy-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (849 mg, 81%) as a yellow solid.
