Anew synthetic application of vinyl aziridines as Ncontaining three-atom components in ar hodium-catalyzed [4+ +3] cycloaddition reaction is described. The reaction proceeds well with various silyl dienol ethers and vinyl aziridines,a nd enables the efficient synthesis of highly functionalizeda zepines in an enantioselective manner with net inversion of absolute configuration. The salient features of the transformation include the use of readily available substrates,h igh selectivity,a nd mild reaction conditions,a s well as the versatile functionalization of the products. Chiral azepines,aclass of seven-membered Nheterocycles, Scheme 1. Representative biologically active azepines. Bn = benzyl, Cbz = carboxybenzyl. Scheme 2. [4+ +3] cycloaddition for the synthesis of azepines. Bz = benzoyl, EWG = electron-withdrawinggroup.
