Abstract: | ![]() The nucleophilic iron complex Bu4N[Fe(CO)3(NO)] (TBA[Fe]) catalyzes the direct intramolecular C?H amination of α‐azidobiaryls and (azidoaryl)alkenes into the corresponding carbazoles and indoles, respectively, under mild conditions and with low catalyst loadings. These features and the broad functional‐group tolerance render this method a particularly attractive alternative to established noble‐metal‐based procedures. |
