Graphical Abstract

Abstract

A new class of heterocyclic compounds, namely the benzoazepinoindolones, has been synthesised through a base-catalysed cyclisation reaction of 1,4-bis(2-aminophenyl)-2-phenylbutane-1,4-dione derivatives and features the prominent seven-membered azepine ring moiety. This synthesis has considerable scope for the rapid generation of more complex structures and is inexpensive and generally applicable.
