A transition-metal/quinone complex, [Ru(phd)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> (phd = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione), is shown to be effective for aerobic dehydrogenation of 3° indolines to the corresponding indoles. The results show how low potential quinones may be tailored to provide a catalytic alternative to stoichiometric DDQ, due to their ability to mediate efficient substrate dehydrogenation while also being compatible with facile reoxidation by O<sub>2</sub>. The utility of the method is demons ...[more]
