An
efficient and convenient method for the construction of diverse
free (N–H)-benzazepinoindoles by Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)-H imidoylative cyclization of 3-(2-isocyanobenzyl)-1H-indoles was developed. The reaction shows a wide substrate scope
and can be scaled up, providing a practical route to valuable bioactive
azepinoindoles.
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.
