Abstract

A selective method for the preparation of mono- and bis-sulfenylindoles was developed using an oxidizing agent and the I₂/SeO₂ system as an efficient catalyst. The selectivity was controlled by varying the amount of SeO₂. This represents the first example of the application of SeO₂ in this type of selective chemistry.
