Abstract
Updated classic: Primary and secondary alkylzinc reagents add to various aryldiazonium salts leading regioselectively to polyfunctional indoles by means of a [3,3]-sigmatropic shift and subsequent aromatization. This organometallic variation of the Fischer indole synthesis tolerates a wide range of functional groups and displays absolute regioselectivity.
