A Novel 1,5-Benzoheteroazepine Synthesis via a One-Pot Coupling−Isomerization−Cyclocondensation Sequence

2,4-Di(hetero)aryl substituted 2,3-dihydro 1,5-benzoheteroazepines (hetero = NH, O, S) can be readily sythesized in a one-pot process initiated by a coupling−isomerization sequence of an electron poor (hetero)aryl halide and a terminal propargyl alcohol subsequently followed by a cyclocondensation with 2-amino, 2-hydroxy, or 2-mercapto anilines. In addition, the structures were established unambiguously by an X-ray structure analysis of 7a.
