However, the C−H borylation regioselectivity of unprotected indoles with seven distinct sites has been a problem for a long time. Among the various synthetic approaches to borylated indoles, transition‐metal‐catalyzed, electrophilic C−H borylation and chelation effect directed C−H borylation are attractive methods because of their powerful ability to rapidly construct various C−H borylation of indoles. In this review, we highlight the developments in the C−H borylation regioselectivity of indole using these methods of C−H borylation over the last 20 years. With a focus on the mechanism of the C−H borylation of indole, further studies and developments of this field would be inspired in the future.","PeriodicalId":130,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing the oxidation process of an iodoarene by Selectfluor, the activation is improved from a stoichiometric to catalytic protocol.
