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