A silver triflimide catalyzed one‐pot protocol for the diastereoselective synthesis of dihydrobenzoxepines has been developed. Silver triflimide was found to be an efficient catalyst for the formal (5+2)‐cycloaddition to access dihydrobenzoxepines as a single diastereomer using vinyl diazosuccinimides as 5‐C‐synthons and ketones. An unmet challenge of utilizing the donor‐/acceptor‐type vinyl diazosuccinimides as 5‐C‐synthons under silver‐catalysis is presented. This protocol was found to be highly regio‐, chemo‐ and diastereoselective, and works well with aliphatic as well as aromatic methyl ketones bearing electron deactivating as well as donating groups to afford dihydrobenzo[5,6]oxepino[2,3‐c]pyrroles. The control experiments and time‐dependent NMR studies revealed the plausible mechanism of this transformation. The protocol also proved to be scalable on the gram‐scale synthesis.

An unmet challenge of utilizing the donor-/acceptor-type vinyl diazosuccinimides as 5-C-synthons under silver-catalysis is presented. This protocol found to be highly regio-, chemo- and diastereoselective, and works well with aliphatic as well as aromatic methyl ketones bearing electron deactivating as well as donating groups to afford dihydrobenzo[5,6]oxepino[2,3-c]pyrroles with a broad substrates scope. The control experiments and time dependent NMR studies revealed the plausible mechanism of this transformation. The protocol also proved to be scalable on the gram scale synthesis.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
