General methods Commercially available reagents were used without additional purification, unless otherwise stated. Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts (2a 2d) and 8d were prepared according to reported literature. 1,2 Sealed tubes (13 100 mm 2 ) were purchased from Fischer Scientific and dried in oven for overnight and cooled at room temperature prior to use. Thin layer chromatography was carried out using plates coated with Kieselgel 60 F 254 (Merck). For flash column chromatography, E. Merck Kieselgel 60 (230 400 mesh) was used. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra ( 1 H and 13 C NMR) were recorded on a Bruker Unity 400 spectrometers in CDCl 3 solution and chemical shifts are reported as parts per million (ppm). Resonance patterns are reported with the notations s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), and m (multiplet). Coupling constants (J) are reported in hertz (Hz). IR spectra were recorded on a Varian 2000 Infrared spectrophotometer and are reported as cm -1. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded on a JEOL JMS-600 spectrometer. S3

General procedure for the synthesis of 2-benzazepines (3a 3q, 5a 5g, 7a and 7b) To an oven-dried sealed tube charged with phenylmethanamine (1a) (21.4 mg, 0.2 mmol, 100 mol %), [RhCp*Cl 2 ] 2 (3.1 mg, 0.005 mmol, 2.5 mol %), AgSbF 6 (6.9 mg, 0.02 mmol, 10 mol %), Cu(OAc) 2 (25.4 mg, 0.14 mmol, 70 mol %) and methyl 2-(acetoxymethyl)acrylate (2a) (94.8 mg, 0.6 mmol, 300 mol %) was added DCE (1 ml) under air at room temperature. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 110 C for 10 min. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc (3 ml) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (n-hexanes/etoac = 4:1) to afford 3a (43.3 mg, 71%) as sticky yellow oil. S6
