Abstract

A sustainable and metal-free protocol has been described for the reduction of unprotected indoles. The catalytic system consists of B(C6 F5 )3 and THF as a Lewis acid-base pair that can activate the B-H bond of pincolborane (HBpin). The catalytic system encompasses a broad substrate scope. Control experiments were conducted to understand the possible catalytic intermediates involved during the present protocol.
