Abstract

Abstract A sequential one-pot intermolecular oxy-Michael addition, intermolecular Heck coupling, and intramolecular degradation (retro-oxy-Michael addition) followed by condensation method has been developed for the synthesis of interesting 2-benzoxepin-3 (1H)-ones. Significantly, the 2-benzoxepin-3 (1H)-ones form the core quantum of biologically vital natural products. The initial oxy-Michael addition and Heck coupling steps involve a ...
