Iron(II) triflate as a catalyst for the synthesis of indoles by intramolecular C-H amination

Org Lett. 2011 Apr 15;13(8):2012-4. doi: 10.1021/ol2004066. Epub 2011 Mar 11.

Abstract

A practical iron-catalyzed intramolecular C-H amination reaction and its application in the synthesis of indole derivatives are presented. As a catalyst, commercially available iron(II) triflate is used.
