Abstract

(Phenyliodonio)sulfamate (PISA) is a readily accessible and bench-stable water-soluble hypervalent iodine(III) reagent, that enables the synthesis of various indoles via C-H amination of 2-alkenylanilines involving an aryl migration/intramolecular cyclization cascade with excellent regioselectivity.
