Step H (2): To a solution of methyl 2-(5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (134 mg, 0.5 mmol) in NMP (1.0 mL) was added copper(I) cyanide (54 mg, 0.6 mmol). The reaction mixture was microwaved at 180° C. for 1.5 h. More copper (I) cyanide (54 mg, 0.6 mmol) was added, and the mixture was microwaved again at 180° C. for 2 h. 100 mL of EtOAc was added, and the reaction mixture was washed with 1.0 N HCl and H2O. The organic layer was dried and the residue was purified by flash chromatography to give 50 mg of the methyl 2-(5-cyano-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (yield 47%).
