Due to their importance as nitrogen-protected indoles, N-silylindoles are recognized as indispensable synthetic platforms that can be used to construct valuable indole-based organic molecules.[1] N-Silylation of indoles is generally performed by a two-step sequence consisting of N-metalation of indoles with strong metallic bases (met–base), such as LiBu, KNACHTUNGTRENNUNG (SiMe3) 2, or NaH, and then treatment of the resulting N-metal ...
