Gold-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of 1,7-Diyne Benzoates to Indeno[1,2-<i>c</i>]azepines and Azabicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1(8),5-dines

Abstract

A synthetic method that relies on Au­(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions of 1,7-diyne benzoates to prepare indeno­[1,2-<i>c</i>]­azepines and azabicyclo[4.2.0]­octa-1(8),5-dines is described
