Abstract
The dihydroazepino[1,2-a]indole diones 3 are tricyclic oxindole-type enones which are readily accessible by catalytic photooxygenation of cyclohepta[b]indoles 1 followed by dehydration. Lewis acid-catalysed oxa Diels-Alder reactions of enones 3 with enol ethers 4 were developed that lead to novel tetracyclic azepane-fused pyrano[3,2-b]indoles 5, with high stereoselectivity and under mild reaction conditions.
