Abstract

Abstract Fused isoindolo [1, 3] benzo (or thieno) oxazepines 8a, b and one of their positional isomers aromatic tricyclic N, O-acetals 13b are reported to occur efficiently in a three-step sequence from N-hydroxy-methylphthalimide (6). The key step of this methodology is the intramolecular arylation of an endocyclic and/or exocyclic N-acyliminium cation. The mechanism leading to these species, in particular to a tricyclic lactam 13b, is discussed.
