A step- and atom-economical protocol allowing the synthesis of 1,4-diazepanes and also tetrahydro- and decahydro-1,5-benzodiazepines is described. The method proceeds from very simple starting materials such as 1,2-diamines and alkyl 3-oxohex-5-enoates and can be performed under solvent-free conditions in many instances. The key event of this process was the generation in situ of an aza-Nazarov reagent and its subsequent intramolecular aza-Michael cyclization. An intermolecular version of the reaction was also estab
