Bi(NO3)(3)5H(2)O-Catalyzed redox amination scope and mechanistic insights of benzylic ketones with indoline are discussed. The experimental results demonstrate that the formation of N-alkyl-substituted indole/indoline derivatives over typically competitive redox and reductive amination processes is depending upon the reaction condition for the benzylic ketones.
