Abstract

Graphical abstract: Highlights: High actives. Wide substrate scope. Cheap and nontoxic oxidant. Ten minutes. Abstract: An efficient method to synthesize isatins based on indoles by using inorganic hypervalent I2 O5 has been explored in good yields, which successfully realized the transformation from indoles to isatins under metal-free, mild condition with broad substrate scope.
