The varying stabilities of certain aminoindole radical cations toward oxidation with molecular oxygen have been studied. Oxidation leads to different products depending upon the environment around the N ‐amino nitrogen. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed based on electronic and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
