While the dearomatization of indoles by carbon-boron bond forming reactions is new and quite promising, they are so far mainly metal-catalyzed. Here, we establish the use of metal-free catalysts in promoting such reactions in an atom-efficient way. The <i>in situ</i> generated ambiphilic aminoborane catalyst (1-Pip-2-BH<sub>2</sub>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (Pip = piperidyl) promotes borylative dearomatization of various 1-arylsulfonyl indoles with pinacolborane in a <i>syn</i> add ...[more]
