Iridium-catalyzed C-H phosphoramidation of N-aryl-7-azaindoles with phosphoryl azides

Org Biomol Chem. 2018 May 23;16(20):3711-3715. doi: 10.1039/c8ob00776d.

Abstract

An iridium-catalyzed C-H phosphoramidation of N-aryl-7-azaindoles with phosphoryl azides was developed, affording a series of 7-azaindole phenylphosphoramidates in moderate to good yields. This protocol displays good functional group tolerance, which offers a novel and direct approach to access 7-azaindole phenylphosphoramidates.
