A copper(i)-catalyzed reaction of 2-(2-ethynylphenyl)oxirane, sulfonyl azide, with 2-isocyanoacetate†
Abstract
A novel and straightforward synthetic protocol for the efficient construction of 3′,5′-dihydro-1H-spiro[benzo[d]oxepine-2,4′-imidazoles] through a copper(I)-catalyzed reaction between 2-(2-ethynylphenyl)oxirane,
