A series of N ‐alkoxyindole‐3‐carbonitriles were synthesized, under mild conditions, via intramolecular heterocyclization of the readily available 3‐alkoxyimino‐2‐arylalkylnitriles mediated by iodobenzene dichloride/zinc chloride. The mechanism of the reaction proposes the formation of a key intermediate of nitrenium cation from a chlorination and dechlorination process facilitated by the hypervalent iodine reagent and Lewis acid respectively.
