| Abstract: | A redox‐neutral cobalt(III)‐catalyzed synthetic approach for the direct synthesis of unprotected indoles showcasing an N?N bond cleavage is reported. The herein newly introduced Boc‐protected hydrazines establish a beneficial addition to the limited portfolio of oxidizing directing groups for cobalt(III) catalysis. Moreover, the developed catalytic methodology tolerates a good variety of functional groups. |
