A novel copper-catalyzed tandem cyclization/direct C(sp2)-H annulation of phenyl azide-ynamides via α-imino copper carbenes has been developed, which provides a concise and flexible approach for the construction of a range of valuable azepino[2,3-b:4,5-b']diindoles in mostly good to excellent yields with high chemoselectivities. This tandem reaction also exhibits a broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, simple operation, and mild reaction conditions.
