Kangfei HuYan ZhangZhenghong ZhouYu YangZhenggen ZhaZhiyong WangPublished in: Organic letters (2020)
A metal-free electrochemical intramolecular C(sp2)-H amination using iodine as a mediator was developed. This method enables a switchable synthesis of indoline and indole derivatives, respectively, from easily available 2-vinyl anilines.
