Phosphorus oxychloride (3.82 g) was added to N,N-dimethylformamide (20 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. A solution of 6-ethylindole [Journal of the Chemical Society (J. Chem. Soc.), 7165 (1965)] in N,N-dimethylformamide (6 ml) was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. Ice (20 g) and then a 5N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (34 ml) were added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was heated under reflux for one hour. The reaction solution was ice-cooled, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to give 6-ethylindole-3-carboxaldehyde (2.76 g).
