GENERAL STEPS: Oxalyl chloride (0.3 mL) was slowly added dropwise to ice-bath cooled N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 3 mL) under stirring conditions. The reaction mixture was stirred continuously at 0 °C for 1 hour. Subsequently, a solution of 6-chloroindole (4 mmol) dissolved in DMF (1.5 mL) was added slowly dropwise to the above reaction mixture. The resulting mixture was stirred and reacted at room temperature for 5 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, 2 N sodium hydroxide solution (2 mL) was added and the mixture was heated to 100°C maintained for 10 minutes. The reaction solution was cooled and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 50 mL). The organic phases were combined and washed sequentially with water and saturated saline. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude product. The crude product was purified by fast column chromatography with the eluent of ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (3:1, v/v) to give pure 6-chloroindole-3-carbaldehyde.

Experimental Procedures for the C3-Formylation of Indoles
General procedure: Under air, a 20 mL of Schlenk tube equipped with a stir bar was charged with indole 1 (0.2 mmol, 1 equiv),TMEDA (75 µL, 0.5 mmol, 2.5 equiv), Na2CO3 (42.4 mg, 0.4mmol, 2.0 equiv), 1,4-dioxane (0.5 mL) and H2O (100 µL). Then I2 (101.5 mg, 0.4 mmol, 2.0 equiv) was added and the tube was sealed with a rubber plug and charged with O2. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100 °C for 36 h in oil bath. After cooling to room temperature, the resultant mixture was evaporated with EtOAc (20 mL) under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on a silica gel to give the products.
