Abstract
A low-temperature, protecting-group-free oxidation of 2-substituted anilines with PIFA in the presence of an acid generates an electrophilic N-aryl nitrenoid intermediate that can engage in C-NAr bond formation to construct functionalized N-heterocycles, such as spirocyclic- or bicyclic 3H-indoles or benzazepinones.
