Highly substituted 2-aminated indoles can be prepared in moderate to excellent yields by regioselective C2-amination of indoles promoted by iodine. As a key step in a concise synthesis of (±)-folicanthine, its core structure was easily obtained by one step cyclization-dimerization of substituted tryptophan in high yield on a gram scale.

The synthesis of a biologically relevant 2-amino-3-alkylamido 4-quinazolinone has been accomplished in four steps from commercially available materials using design principles from both modular and divergent synthesis. 3-Alkylation of 2-chloro-4(3)-quinazolinone using methyl bromoacetate, followed by C2-amination produced a suitable scaffold for introducing molecular diversity. Optimization of alkylation conditions afforded full regioselectivity, enabling exclusive access to the -alkylated isomer.

The C2 amination of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines was accomplished through C2 halogenation followed by substitution (SNAr) with functionalized primary and secondary amines. This regioselective sequence is operationally simple and provides an easy access to derivatives of protected imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines.
