42. For the construction of the seven-membered ring (azepine) analogue, we prepared the two-carbon homologated azidoalkene, 10-(7-azidohept-1-enyl)-2,3,6- trimethoxyphenanthrene, as a mixture of Z/E isomers (4:1). Unfortunately, heating the two-carbon homologated azidoalkene at 135°C in a sealed tube did not provide any noticeable cyclized product, and increasing the temperature higher than 200°C resulted only in unreacted starting material and decomposed material.
