Rhodium-catalyzed formal aza-[4 + 3] cycloaddition reaction of 3-diazoindolin-2-imines with 1,3-dienes was demonstrated for the synthesis of azepinoindoles in good to excellent yields in one-pot. First, rhodium-catalyzed [2 + 1] cycloaddition reaction smoothly took place to produce iminyl vinyl cyclopropane intermediate at room temperature in chlorobenzene for 1 h, which was thermally converted to azepinoindoles via aza-Cope rearrangement.
