Synthesis of 3-aryl-3-benzazepines <i>via</i> aryne [1,2] Stevens rearrangement of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of 3-aryl-3-benzazepines <italic>via</italic> aryne induced [1,2] Stevens rearrangement of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines is described.
