Abstract
AbstractA sustainable and metal‐free protocol has been described for the reduction of unprotected indoles. The catalytic system consists of B(C6F5)3 and THF as a Lewis acid‐base pair that can activate the B−H bond of pincolborane (HBpin). The catalytic system encompasses a broad substrate scope. Control experiments were conducted to understand the possible catalytic intermediates involved during the present protocol.
