Keeping options open : The new and mild title reaction involving indoles selectively furnishes 1 and 2 with the aid of tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The method represents the first example of a copper‐catalyzed α arylation of α‐amino carbonyl substrates leading to α‐aryl α‐imino and α‐aryl α‐oxo carbonyl compounds using a CH oxidation strategy.
