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