A general synthetic route to indolesfrom readily available anilines and epoxides by using ruthenium catalysis is described. This straightforward transformation allows a variety of indoles to be obtained in good yields by using [Ru3(CO)12]/1,1′‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene as the catalytic system. Water and hydrogen are formed as the only stoichiometric by‐products, making this process highly atom
