The site‐selective functionalization of biologically important nitrogen‐containingheterocycles and related derivatives remains a challenging and important task. We report herein on the direct regiodivergent N1/C2 phosphorylation of free indole derivatives. Cyclic voltammograms and EPR data indicate that by utilizing different electrolyte‐mediated anodic oxidation to generate different active indole
temperature in different solvents using alkali carbonate or triethylamine as the base. However, the phosphorylation of N-heterocycles with a lower reactivity at the NH function, such as carbazole and phenothiazine, could not be conducted to complete conversion under the conditions applied.
