RT Journal Article T1 Straightforward Assembly of Benzoxepines by Means of a Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization of o-Vinylphenols A1 Seoane Fernández, Andrés A1 Casanova González, Noelia A1 Quiñones, Noelia A1 Mascareñas Cid, José Luis A1 Gulías Costa, Moisés AB Readily available o-vinylphenols undergo a formal (5 + 2) cycloaddition to alkynes when treated with catalytic amounts of [Cp*RhCl2]2 and Cu(OAc)2. The reaction, which involves the cleavage of the terminal C–H bond of the alkenyl moiety, generates highly valuable benzoxepine skeletons in a practical, versatile, and atom-economical manner. Using carbon monoxide instead of an alkyne as reaction partner leads to coumarin products which formally result from a (5 + 1) cycloaddition PB American Chemical Society SN 0002-7863 YR 2014 FD 2014 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18478 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18478 LA eng NO Seoane, A., Casanova, N., Quiñones, N., Mascareñas, J., & Gulías, M.
