Abstract We report the demonstration that sensitive N-hydroxyindoles can be O-arylated under transition-metal-free conditions with biaryliodonium salts. The subsequent spontaneous [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement delivers benzofuroindolines derived from tryptamine. We also describe the practical synthesis of N-hydroxyindoles by oxidation of indolines with m-CPBA.
