A readily accessible and bench-stable water-soluble hypervalent iodine(III) reagent (phenyliodonio)sulfamate (PISA) with an I-N bond was synthesized, and its structure was characterized by X-ray crystallography. With PISA, various indoles were synthesized via C-H amination of 2-alkenylanilines involving an aryl migration/intramolecular cyclization cascade with excellent regioselectivity in aqueous CH3CN. Notably, using this new method as the key step, not only two drug molecules, indometacin and zidometacin, but also another bioactive molecule, pravadoline, were synthesized.

Despite ample evidence for the unique reactivity offered by hypervalent F-iodanes, mechanistic investigations fall far behind. In order to shed light on the unusual behavior of such F-reagents, we conducted computational and experimental studies on the chemodivergent transformation of styrenes. We identified the spirocyclic F-cyclopropane as the common intermediate for both the C,H-fluorination and C,H-amination pathways. The fate of this key compound is determined by the extent of cationic charge delocalization controlled by the N-substituents. Exploiting this phenomenon, a multitude of different transformations have become available, leading, i.e., to the regiodivergent synthesis of indoles and tryptophans.
