Valuable new synthetic intermediates, 7‐chloromethyl‐1 H ‐indole‐2‐carboxylates ( 3a‐d ), were prepared by the facile elimination of sulfur dioxide under the influence of thionyl chloride from 2‐ethoxycarbonyl‐1 H ‐indole‐7‐methanesulfonic acids ( 1a‐d ), easily accessible by Fischer‐type indolisation. The 7‐chloromethylindoles easily underwent methanolysis and aminolysis.
