RT Journal Article T1 New Short Strategy for the Synthesis of the Dibenz[b,f]oxepin Scaffold A1 Moreno, David A1 Giorgi, Giorgio A1 Salas, Cristian A1 Tapia, Ricardo AB In this report a short and efficient synthesis of the dibenz[b,f]oxepin framework through intramolecular SNAr and McMurry reactions is described. The diaryl ethers required for the McMurry reaction have been obtained in good yields under microwave-assisted conditions of the reaction of salicylaldehydes with fluorobenzaldehydes without catalysts. Application of an intramolecular McMurry reaction to the synthesized diarylethers using TiCl4/Zn in THF gave the target dibenzo[b,f]oxepin system in 53%–55% yields.
