Abstract

An unprecedented synthesis of novel 3-azido indoles has been developed using I-2 and NaN3 in high yields and excellent regio-selectivity. The reaction proceeds under metal-free conditions at room temperature. Essentially, an umpolung in reactivity at the C-3 position of indole has been achieved by the activation of indoles with I-2.
