Stabilization of the bis( μ ‐oxo)dicopper( III ) intermediate is achieved by using a bidentate N‐donor ligand with pendent indole rings: N , N ‐bis[(3‐indolyl)methyl]‐ N ‐[(2′‐pyridyl)methyl]amine (BIP). The intermediate decomposes to give products arising from N‐dealkylation and a product with a spiro ring composed of two indole rings (see scheme). This latter product probably results from a radical‐coupling reaction.
