Selective C-H amidation of 1H-indoles at the C3 position is reported as a direct entry to biologically important 3-aminoindoles. This transformation is achieved using novel N-[(benzenesulfonyl)oxy]amides as electrophilic nitrogen agents in the presence of ZnCl<sub>2</sub>. Interestingly, analogous reactions in the absence of ZnCl<sub>2</sub> resulted in the formation of indole aminal products. ...[more]
