Abstract

An efficient and stereospecific azidation of a cis-disubstituted azepane is described as the first example of hypervalent silicate-assisted nucleophilic azidation on a substituted seven-membered azepane ring. DFT calculations suggest an SN2-like mechanism whereby the azido nucleophile coordinated to the hypervalent silicate presents flexible geometries for the nucleophilic approach. The method provides a viable alternative to the classical Mitsunobu-based approaches in substituted seven-membered N-heterocycles with complex conformational properties.
