General access to highly valuable seven-membered rings via Büchner-type reaction remains a formidable challenge. Here we report a Cu-catalyzed intermolecular oxidation of alkynes using N-oxides as oxidants, which enables expedient preparation of valuable benzo[6,7]azepino[2,3-b]quinolines and pyridine-based diones. Importantly, in contrast to the well-established gold-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne oxidation, the dissociated pyridine or quinoline partner could be further utilized to construct N ...[more]
