indoles are usually highly sensitive toward oxidants. Thus, in
this stepwise protocol, the usage of boron-masking N-
hydroxyamide as the substrate and acyl migration after the
preparation of diaryliodonium salts are the keys to success.
This method may also be referred to as aromatic C−H
amination. The reaction proceeds very efficiently to afford
highly functionalized indoles and quinoline. Further develop-
ments related to the reaction with this unique mechanism are
currently underway in our group.
