Iron(II) Bromide-Catalyzed Intramolecular C–H Bond Amination–12-shift Tandem Reactions of Aryl Azides

摘要

Iron(II) bromide catalyzes the transformation of ortho-substituted aryl azides into 2,3-disubstituted indoles through a tandem ethereal C–H bond amination–[1,2]-shift reaction. The preference for the 1,2-shift component of the tandem reaction was established to be Me < 1° < 2° < Ph.
