Synthesis of Azepine Derivatives by Rhodium‐Catalyzed Tandem 2,3‐Rearrangement/Heterocyclization

Abstract

Easy to N-cycle: The efficient synthesis of azepine derivatives was achieved by Rh-catalyzed tandem 2,3-rearrangement involving the heterocyclization of N-allenylnitrone intermediates (see scheme; cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene, tppms=sodium diphenylphosphinobenzene-3-sulfonate).
