title: A Cp*CoI2-dimer as a precursor for cationic Co(III)-catalysis: application to C-H phosphoramidation of indoles.
abstract: C2-selective indole C-H phosphoramidation was achieved through improved Cp*Co(III) catalysis. A cationic Co(III) species generated in situ from a Cp*CoI2-dimer showed the best catalytic activity, giving phosphoramidated indoles in 60-86% yield.
