A simple and unpredicted synthetic pathway toward racemic and scalemic tetrahydrodibenzoimidazoazepines has been invented serendipitously proceeding through an S(N)2-type ring-opening of N-activated aziridines with 2-bromobenzylamine followed by a hitherto unprecedented cascade cyclization reaction sequence comprising a Cu-catalyzed cross dehydrogenation C-N
