molecules. Using ketones as N-alkylation reagent for indoles has been a great challenge not only because of the competing alkylation reaction of C-3 position but also because of the poor nucleophilicity of the nitrogen atom of indole, in addition to the steric hindrance and lower electrophilicity of the ketones. A dearomatization–rearomatization strategy has been developed for reductive cross-coupling
