Rhodium-catalyzed C–H activation of 3-(indolin-1-yl)-3-oxopropanenitriles with diazo compounds and tandem cyclization leading to hydrogenated azepino[3,2,1-hi]indoles

Abstract

Rh(III)-Catalyzed C–H activation of 3-(indolin-1-yl)-3-oxopropanenitriles with diazo compounds and cyclization leading to seven-membered ring scaffolds has been developed. These reactions involving tandem C–H activation, cyclization, and condensation steps proceed efficiently and display a broad scope of substrates.
