| Abstract: | A combined palladium‐ and photoredox‐catalyzed C? H olefination enables the synthesis of indoles. By using visible light, the direct C? H activation of aromatic enamines can be achieved and a variety of indole derivatives can be obtained in good yields under mild reaction conditions. |
