Air‐Stable Carbonyl(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)cobalt Diiodide Complex as a Precursor for Cationic (Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)cobalt(III) Catalysis: Application for Directed C‐2 Selective CH Amidation of Indoles
dienyl)cobalt diiodide complex [Cp*Co(CO)I2] was successfully utilized as the precursor of a cationic cobalt(III) active catalyst for directed CH bond functionalization. The complex Cp*Co(CO)I2 (2.5–1.25 mol%), in combination with silver hexafluoroantimonate (AgSbF6) and potassium acetate (KOAc), efficiently catalyzed the directed C‐2 selective amidation of indoles with sulfonyl azides, and the corresponding

Direct C-2 amidation of indoles was reported using sulfonyl azides as the amino source to release N2 as the single byproduct. This reaction exhibits high functional group tolerance and regioselectivity, providing a variety of 2-amino substituted indoles in high to excellent yield. The procedure is robust, reliable, and compatible with water and air.
