title: Iron(II) bromide-catalyzed intramolecular C-H bond amination [1,2]-shift tandem reactions of aryl azides.
abstract: Iron(II) bromide catalyzes the transformation of ortho-substituted aryl azides into 2,3-disubstituted indoles through a tandem ethereal C-H bond amination [1,2]-shift reaction. The preference for the 1,2-shift component of the tandem reaction was established to be Me < 1° < 2° < Ph.
