A new method for direct alpha-functionalization of 2,3-disubstituted indoles has been developed. The present reaction provides alpha-acetoxy indole derivatives regioselectively under mild conditions using commercially available and nontoxic iodine reagents. This reaction is a useful synthetic tool because obtained alpha-acetoxy products can be transformed into various functionalized indoles by substitution reactions with nucleophiles.
