In summary, a Pd(II)-catalyzed cascade π-extended
decarboxylative annulation was developed successfully for the
efficient preparation of various valuable tribenzo[b,d,f ]-
azepines. The readily available 2-aminobenzocarboxylic acid
derivatives and cyclic diaryliodonium salts were used as the
starting materials for this one-step double cross coupling
protocol. The carboxylic acid functionality was successfully
developed as both a traceless directing group for the N−H
activation/arylation and a reactive group for the cascade
decarboxylative annulation.
