[5+2] Cycloaddition of 2‐(2‐Aminoethyl)oxiranes with Alkynes via Epoxide Ring‐Opening: A Facile Access to Azepines

Abstract: A new FeCl3 and BF3⋅OEt2 co‐catalyzed tandem hetero‐[5+2] cycloaddition of 2‐(2‐aminoethyl)oxiranes with a wide range of alkynes, including terminal alkynes and alkyl‐substituted internal alkynes is presented. This is the first example of rapid and facile production of diverse 2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐azepines through a sequence of epoxide ring‐opening, annulation, and dehydroxylation with broad substrate scope and exquisite selectivity control.

“…In another context, Li and Luo have developed hetero [5+ +2] cycloadditions of 2-(2-aminoethyl)oxiranes 164 with alkynes promoted by a combination of FeCl 3 and BF 3 (Et 2 O). [96] The process afforded in the presence of 10 mol% of FeCl 3 and 1 equivalent of BF 3 (Et 2 O) in dichloromethane at room temperature the corresponding 2,3-dihydro-1H-azepines 165 in moderate to good yields (47-73%), as shown in Scheme 46. The reaction featured a broad scope with respect to a wide range of both variously substituted 2-(2-aminoethyl)oxiranes and terminal as well as alkyl-substituted internal alkynes.…”

“…Zhang and co-workers developed a rhodium­(I)-catalyzed intermolecular [5+2]-cycloaddition of vinyl aziridines and alkynes to access nitrogen heterocycles (Scheme b) . The research group of Luo reported an iron/BF 3 ·OEt 2 cocatalyzed intermolecular [5+2]-cycloaddition of 2-(2-aminoethyl)­oxiranes with alkynes for producing 2,3-dihydro-1 H -azepines (Scheme c) . Despite the obvious synthetic utility, these approaches remain with a limited substrate scope with regard to both the five-atom units and the alkynes.…”
