This study showcases the 1,2-migration reactions of alkyl and aryl groups on the indole molecule. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid effectively facilitates the migration of the substituent from C3- to C2-position of the indole structure. The resulting C2-substituted indoles offer a valuable pathway for the synthesis of natural products and medicinal compounds.
