We report novel iridium(III)-catalyzed reactions that afford substituted indoles via the indirect functionalization of alcohols via C-3 selective alkylation of indoles with alcohols and a one-pot cascade strategy from amino- or nitro-phenyl ethyl alcohols, which incorporates oxidative cyclization and C-3 alkylation.
