RT Journal Article T1 Recent Advances in Transition-Metal Catalyzed Oxidative Annulations to Benzazepines and Benzodiazepines A1 Velasco Rubio, Álvaro A1 Varela Carrete, Jesús Ángel A1 Saá Rodríguez, Carlos K1 Benzazepine K1 Benzodiazepine K1 C-H activation K1 Oxidative annulation K1 Transition-metal catalyst AB Benzazepines and benzodiazepines, benzofused seven-membered N-heterocycles, compose an important family of natural products and pharmaceuticals. Although certainly important and effectives, classical synthetic methods of these cyclic compounds involve methodologies that often require multistep procedures, with generation of waste materials and lack of sustainability. By contrast, cycloadditions based on transition metal catalyzed C-H bond activations (oxidative annulations) have emerged as appealing strategies for more sustainable synthetic processes. In this review, we focus our attention to describe the state-of-the-art transition-metal catalyzed annulations via C-H activations to benzazepines and benzodiazepines.
