A hetero‐norcaradiene‐cycloheptatriene rearrangement and an unusually rapid transannular [1,5]‐sigmatropic hydrogen shift are the key steps in the baseinduced ring expansion of the bislactim ethers 1 to the 2 H ‐1,4‐diazepines 2 . The ring expansion is also possible in the case of analogous all‐carbon compounds and leads, for example, from dihydroanthracenes to novel structural variants of the antidepressant protriptyline such as 3 . Examples for R 1 R 3 : H, Me, OMe, Ph, CH 2 Ph.
