A highly efficient iodine-catalyzed regioselective oxidative cross-coupling of an indole C-H bond and azole N-H bond is described. This metal-free reaction can be easily carried out at room temperature under mild and environmentally friendly conditions and provides a series of N-linked 2-(azol-1-yl)indole derivatives in moderate to excellence yields.

Thermal or microwave-mediated heating of 2- or 3-haloindoles with azoles (pK(a) < 8) provides a straightforward, metal-free, and environmentally friendly access to novel 2-(azol-1-yl)indoles. Furthermore, previously unknown 2,3-bis(azolyl-1-yl)indoles can be prepared from 2,3-dihaloindoles by sequential reaction with two distinct azoles. This operationally simple acid-catalyzed process delivers novel indole derivatives in fair to excellent yields and expands the chemical diversity of substitutions that can be introduced on this medicinally important scaffold.
Aerobic Oxidative C–H Azolation of Indoles and One-Pot Synthesis of Azolyl Thioindoles by Flavin–Iodine-Coupled Organocatalysis
The aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of indoles with azoles driven by flavin-iodine-coupled organocatalysis has been developed for the green synthesis of 2-(azol-1-yl)indoles. The coupled organocatalytic system enabled the one-potthree-componentsynthesis of 2-azolyl-3-thioindoles from indoles, azoles, and thiols in an atom-economical manner by utilizing molecular oxygen as the only sacrificial reagent
