We describe a simple and sustainable MgBr2-mediated electrochemical dearomative dihydroxylation and hydroxycyclization reactions of indoles with water. MgBr2 is used in substoichiometric amount and acts as an electrolyte and potentially as a redox mediator to indirectly oxidize the indole nucleus into a bromonium ion which is involved in the aforementioned reactions.
