Cu-Catalyzed Oxidative 3-Amination of Indoles via Formation of Indolyl(aryl)iodonium Imides Using <i>o</i>-Substituted (Diacetoxyiodo)arene as a High-Performance Hypervalent Iodine Compound

An oxidative 3-amination of indole derivatives using hypervalent iodine(III) and bissulfonimides, which proceeds via the formation of indolyl(aryl)iodonium imides, was developed. This reaction was followed by an indole-selective copper-catalyzed oxidative C&#8211;N coupling reaction to obtain 3-...
