Abstract
An environmentally friendly electrochemical approach enables an iodoamination of various indole derivatives with a series of unactivated amines, amino acid derivatives, and benzotriazoles. This strategy was further applied in late-stage functionalization, gram-scale synthesis and radiolabeling.
