Abstract

Abstract An easily available iron catalyst was developed to accomplish the CH functionalization of indoles with α‐aryl‐α‐diazoesters in high yields under mild conditions. The asymmetric CH functionalization of indoles was also realized by using iron complexes of chiral spiro bisoxazolines with up to 78% ee .
