To a solution of methyl 1H-indole-5-carboxylate 19a (2 g, 11.4 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (15 mL) at 0° C. was slowly added sodium cyanoborohydride (1.08 g, 17.2 mmol). The mixture was allowed to warm up and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Water was added to the resulting mixture at 0° C., and the solution was adjusted to pH˜12 with 1N aqueous NaOH. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 and the organic layer was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solution was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 15% EtOAc/heptane) to give compound 24a (1.79 g). MS m/z (M+H+) 178.1.
