Abstract

An iodine-catalyzed methyl azaarene sp3 C–H functionalization has been developed for the synthesis of a seven-membered O-heterocyclic architecture containing three different heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This method can be applied to a wide range of substituted methyl azaarenes and diverse 2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-ones, and brings about the efficient preparation of 2,9-dihydrooxepino[2,3-c:6,5-c′]dipyrazol-3(7H)-ones in high yields with the merits of low catalyst loading, good functional group tolerance and metal-free conditions.
