unprecedented selective synthesis of dihydrophenanthridine and phenanthridinederivatives through the cascade reactions of 2-arylanilines with alkynoates is presented. Mechanistic studies showed that the formation of the dihydrophenanthridine scaffold involves an initial C(sp2)–H alkenylation of 2-arylaniline with alkynoate followed by an intramolecular aza-Michael addition. When this reaction is carried out
This study reported the synthesis of 6-methylphenanthridines from 2-isocyanobiaryls using dimethylformamide (DMF) as a methyl carbon souce. The reactions were conducted in open-air atmosphere using electrochemical process at ambient temperature.
AbstractThe di‐tert butyl peroxide (DTBP)‐promoted sequential reaction of isonitriles is developed, leading to 6‐methylphenanthridine derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. DTBP served as both promoter and methyl source. The procedure proceeds through the addition of a methyl radical derived from the peroxide to the isonitrile followed by aromatic homolytic cyclization. It tolerates a series of functional groups, such as fluoro, chloro, acetyl, methoxycarbonyl, cyano and trifluoromethyl.magnified image

An intermolecular nitrogenation reaction toward the synthesis of phenanthridines has been developed. This metal-free protocol provides a novel nitrogen-incorporation transformation using azides as the nitrogen source. Phenanthridines, which are of great interest in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry, are synthesized efficiently in one step. Moreover, the byproducts derived from the Schmidt reaction are inhibited, which further demonstrated the high chemoselectivity of this transformation.
