A facile and general method for regioselective C2 sulfonylation reaction of indoles mediated by iodine is described. The 2-sulfonylated products were obtained up to 96% yield under mild reaction conditions (room temperature, 2 h).

A convenient procedure is developed for the preparation of 2-sulfonylindoles fromindoles and sodium sulfinates catalyzed by KI in water. This environmentally benign 2-sulfonylation of indoles proceeds efficiently under mild conditions, affording the products with high regioselectivity and in moderate to good yields.
