A novel and efficient route has been developed to afford dipyridoazepine derivatives from primary amines and 3,3′-(Z)-ethene-1,2-diylbis(4-chloropyridine). The procedure based on a double nucleophilic aromatic substitution provides a valuable synthetic tool for the synthesis of dipyridoazepines. The reaction proceeds without catalyst, under microwave irradiation conditions.
