Abstract
A powerful aza-Prins cyclization in combination with the Peterson-type elimination reaction provides seven-membered unsaturated azacycles (tetrahydroazepines) under mild reaction conditions and using iron(III) salts as sustainable catalysts. In a single reaction step, a C-N, C-C bond and an endocyclic double bond are formed.
