2-Siloxysubstituted 2-alkenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids 6a-e were converted into the corresponding carbonylazides by treatment with diphenyl phosphorazidate/triethylamine. These intermediates underwent smooth Curtius rearrangement followed by [3,3]-sigmatropic reaction to finally provide azepin-2-one derivatives 8a - d and/or azepin-2,5-diones 9d and 10e in moderate to good overall yield. Cyclopropanecarboxylic acids 11a - c lacking the siloxy group provided azepin-2-ones 12a - c with reasonable efficiency.

vinyl cyclopropanes - carbonylazides - [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements - azepinones
