title: Ir-catalyzed functionalization of 2-substituted indoles at the 7-position: nitrogen-directed aromatic borylation.
abstract: Ir-catalyzed borylation of 2-substituted indoles selectively yields 7-borylated products in good yields. N-Protection, required for previous functionalizations of 2-substituted indoles, is unnecessary.
