Since the first preparation of indole by Baeyer in 1866,[1] its chemistry has been extensively investigated as a consequence of its prevalence in the structures of many biologically active natural products, including some useful drugs.[1, 2] Indole chemistry still remains an area of great interest as demonstrated by several recent reviews dedicated to this field.[3] In particular, much attention has been focused towards the development of methodologies for oxidative functionalization at the C2 and C3 positions,[4] a field pioneered by Witkop,[1c] since these oxidations can provide rapid routes to new natural products that contain an indole framework, such as chaetominine (1)[5] and psychotrimine (2).[6]The catalytic oxidative difunctionalization of alkenes offers a direct route to various important scaffolds, such as vicinal diamines and aminoalcohols. Although efficient procedures have been described using palladium (II) chemistry,[7] catalytic nitrene transfers offer a possible alternative. The latter generally afford CÀH-aminated or olefin aziridination products,[8] but recent studies have demonstrated that formal alkene oxyamidation can be achieved in the case of glucals [9] and indoles.[10] These nitrene transfers have been successfully developed by tethering an acylnitrene or a sulfamoylnitrene onto the substrate, thereby ensuring efficiency and complete regioselectivity for the intramolecular
