A new route to 1,3-benzoxazepines and 1,3-benzodiazepines via intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction

Abstract
The reaction of triphenylphosphine with the o-acyloxy-5 and o-acylamino-azidocinnamates 9, prepared from salicylaldehyde and o-aminobenzaldehyde, results in ring closure to give the 1,3-benzoxazepines 7 and 1,3-benzodiazepines 12,via the intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction of the iminophosphoranes 6 and 10 initially formed, respectively.
