In this review, we summarize advances in [4+3] and a few other annulation/cycloaddition reactions for the construction of seven membered rings, with an emphasis on the literature subsequent to the year 2010. The type of products include the following: azepines, diazepines, benzazepinones, 1,2‐diazepinones, oxazepinones, benzothiazepines, benzodiazepinones, benzoxopinones, cyclohepta[b]indoles, benzoxazepines, azepino‐indoles, oxepines/oxazepanes, triazepines oxepinoindolones/azepinoindolones, oxadiazepines, azabicyclooctanes. Emphasis is also given to cover diverse types of annulations; possible intermediates are displayed in the illustrated schemes to aid future work.
