The indoles 2a‐2c react with diethoxycarbenium tetrafluoroborate ( 1 ) to furnish the indolecarbaldehydes 3a‐3d . In the thermodynamically controlled reaction of 3‐methylindole ( 2a ) with 1 the tris(indolyl)methane 4 and diskatole ( 5 ), are formed in addition. The limitations of these reactions are discussed and evidence is presented for a C‐3‐ ipso ‐attack and a Wagner‐Meerwein rearrangement, respectively, leading to the formation of 3b or 3d .
