Abstract

We studied selective bromination and iodination of dimethyl indole-2,3-dicarboxylates using phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA), LiBr, and LiI in the presence of Lewis acid. The protective group on the nitrogen of indole is important for selectivity of the halogenation position, and the use of a benzenesulfonyl group as a protective group resulted in preferential halogenation of indole at the 6-position.
