The oxime ethers 2a-e have been cyclised with Bu(3)SnH to the alkoxyam
ino-3-methylidene-chromanes 3a-e. Seven-membered ring formation was ob
served when the oxime ethers 7a, b were converted into the dibenzo [b,
e] oxepines 8a, b under similar conditions. 1-Methoxyaminoindanes 12a,
b were produced from the cyclisation of the substrates 11a, b and the
cis-fused cyclic products 15a, b and 18 were obtained from compounds
14a, b and 17, respectively.
