Abstract
A large scale and commercially feasible synthesis of 5-chloroindole and its 3-substituted analogues has been described via a halogen - halogen exchange reaction from 5-bromoindole and its derivatives using cuprous chloride and dipolar aprotic solvent N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone in one pot with good yields.
