Procedure: To a solution of EXAMPLE 106A (5.5 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (60 mL) was added 1-(3-bromopropoxy)naphthalene (5.4 g) and Cs2CO3 (22 g). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was diluted with ether (300 mL) and water (200 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ether twice. The combined extracts were washed with water (×3), brine and dried over Na2SO4. Concentration of the mixture gave crude product, which was purified by flash chromatography (2% ethyl acetate in hexane). The aqueous layer was extracted with ether twice The combined extracts were washed with water (×3), brine dried over Na2SO4 Concentration of the mixture gave crude product, which was purified by flash chromatography (2% ethyl acetate in hexane)

Procedure: To a solution of ethyl bromoacetate (42 g) in ethanol (120 mL) was added a solution of NaN3 (25 g) in water (60 ml). The mixture was stirred at reflux for 4 hours. The mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was partitioned between ether (300 mL) and water (200 mL). The aqueous layer was further extracted with ether. The combined extracts were washed with water (×3), brine and dried over Na2SO4. After filtration, careful concentration of solvent gave ethyl azidoacetate (26 g) which was dissolved in ethanol (100 ml) and 2-bromobenzaldehyde (12.5 g) was added to the solution which was then added dropwise to a cooled (−15° C.) solution of sodium ethoxide (prepared from Na (5.2 g) and ethanol (60 ml)). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 4 hours before poured into a mixture of ice and saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution. The mixture was filtered and the precipitate was washed with water and dissolved in ethyl acetate and dried over Na2SO4. Concentration of solvent gave crude intermediate, which was dissolved in xylene (100 ml) and added dropwise to refluxing xylene under nitrogen. After the addition, the mixture was stirred at reflux overnight. Concentration of the mixture under vacuum gave the crude product, which was purified by silica gel chromatography (2% ethyl acetate in hexane). was then added dropwise to The mixture was filtered the precipitate was washed with water dissolved in ethyl acetate dried over Na2SO4 Concentration of solvent gave crude intermediate, which added dropwise After the addition the mixture was stirred at reflux overnight

Procedure: To a stirred solution of ethyl 4-bromo-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (500 mg, 1.86 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added Cu(I)CN (501 mg, 5.59 mmol) and heated to 150° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, the water (25 mL) was added and the reaction mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (4×50 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (25 mL), brine (25 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to get the crude product. The crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (100-200 mesh) using a solvent gradient of 10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford 330 mg (82%) of ethyl 4-cyano-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (I-3a) as an off-white solid. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature the reaction mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (4×50 mL) The organic layer was washed with water (25 mL), brine (25 mL) dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 evaporated under reduced pressure to get the crude product The crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (100-200 mesh)
