A simple, efficient, and practical sulfenylation at the C2 position of <i>N</i>-tosylindoles under mild conditions was developed. The designed transformation is based on the reaction of <i>N</i>-tosylindoles with BuLi and <i>S</i>-alkyl, and <i>S</i>-aryl phosphorodithioates or thiotosylates to produce 2-sulfenylindoles in moderate to high yields. The presence of additional hydroxy, carboxy, or amino functionalities did not disturb the formation of products. ...[more]
