Atom-Economical Transformation of Diaryliodonium Salts: Tandem C–H and N–H Arylation of Indoles

Arylation using diaryliodonium salts generates one equivalent of an iodoarene as a side-product, a significant waste of atom economy. Here, we show that diaryliodoniums can undergo Cu-catalyzed tandem C–H/N–H arylation, producing novel indoles that incorporate both aryl groups from the...
