The reaction of a variety of indoles with N-thioalkyl- and N-thioarylphthalimides to produce 3-thioindoles is reported. Catalytic quantities of halide-containing salts are crucial to the success of this reaction. This highly efficient reaction provides sulfenylated indoles from bench-stable, readily available starting materials in good to excellent yields.
