To a solution of 6-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indole (3.9 g, 24 mmol) in acetonitrile (200 mL) and DMF (20 mL) was added dropwise a solution of ClSO2NCO (4 mL, 1.3 eq.) in acetonitrile (31 mL) at 0° C. After the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Then it was poured into ice water and saturated NaHCO3 was added to it until it became basic. The aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 and then evaporated. The residue was 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.
