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 1M sodium acetate solution and stir. After 18 hours, filter, rinse with water, and dry to give 3-formyl-2-carboethoxy-4,6-dichloroindole.
