Photocatalysed C–H amidation of indoles enabled by tert-butyl alkyl((perfluoropyridin-4-yl)oxy)carbamate

Abstract

A new photoinduced amidation protocol was developed by utilizing the readily available tert-butyl alkyl((perfluoropyridin-4-yl)oxy)carbamate as an effective amidyl radical precursor under mild conditions.
