via a three-component reaction of indole-2-carboxamides, 1, 3-disubstituted propargyl
alcohols, and I2 is described. The strategy involves a C–H functionalization–alkyne
activation–intramolecular hydroamidation–deprotonation domino sequence. The salient
feature of this sequence is regioselective electrophilic 7-endo-dig iodo-cyclization during the
intramolecular hydroamidation to afford a seven-membered azepinone ring annulated to the …
