Cationic ruthenium(II) complexes enabled oxidative C–H bond functionalizations with anilines bearing removable directing groups. The C–H/N–H bond cleavages occurred most efficiently in water as a sustainable solvent and provided general access to various bioactive indoles. Mechanistic studies provided strong support for a novel reaction manifold.
