Reaction Steps

To a solution of indole-6-carboxylic acid (2.45 g, 15.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) and DMF (10 mL) was added N-chlorosuccinimide (2 g, 15.2 mmol). After 3 h, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was suspended in dichloromethane, sonicated and filtered to give 2.38 g (80%) of the title compound.
