Indole scaffold synthesis relies primarily on oxidative C-H amination of N-protected alkenylanilines for C-N intramolecular cyclization reactions. Herein, for the first time, without N-protection, various readily prepared 2-alkenylanilines were transformed into the desired indole products in good yields by using K 2 S 2 O 8 as oxidant in the presence of catalytic amounts of FeF 2. The K 2 S 2 O 8 /FeF 2 system offers a direct and benign synthetic route to 3-arylindoles and it is applicable to a wide range of substituted indoles including drug intermediates.
