Formation of bicyclic azepines by intramolecular trapping of didehydroazepines
Abstract
Photolysis of 2-(3-aminopropyl)phenyl azides 6 gives 2,3,4,4a-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-b]azepines 7 in good yields, which are formed by intramolecular trapping of the ring-expanded didehydroazepine intermediate with an amino group.
