A metal‐free, highly regioselective C3 difluorination and C2 oxidation of N‐substituted indoles, with the aid of in situ generated PhIF 2 in the presence of two types of fluorinating agents, was reported. This reaction provided 3,3‐difluoro‐2‐oxindoles with yields up to 64 % under mild reaction conditions. A mechanism for this reaction was proposed.
