Abstract
A single-electron transfer mediates a modular indole formation from a 2-iodoaniline derivative and a ketone. This transition-metal-free reaction offers a broad substrate scope and unconventional regioselectivity trends. Moreover, important functional groups for further transformation are tolerated.
