Abstract
A novel and straightforward approach for the synthesis of tribenzo[b,d,f]azepines starting from 2-iodobiphenyls and 2-bromoanilines has been developed. A wide range of tribenzo[b,d,f]azepines were obtained in good to excellent yields via a cascade intermolecular palladium-catalyzed C-H activation/dual coupling reaction. C,C-palladacycles, which are generated by C-H activation of 2-iodobiphenyls, should be the reaction intermediates.
