Convenient and Efficient Synthesis of Functionalized 2-Sulfenylindoles

A simple, efficient, and practical sulfenylation at the C2 position of <i>N</i>-tosylindoles under mild conditions was developed. The designed transformation is based on the reaction of <i>N</i>-tosylindoles with BuLi and <i>S</i>-alkyl, and <i>S</i>-a...
