A practical method for the synthesis of 6-aroyl phenanthridine derivatives by Fe-catalyzed oxidative radicalcyclization of 2-isocyanobiphenyls with benzylic alcohols is described. In addition, this cyclization could be occurred by using toluene as aroyl source. The procedure tolerates various functional groups under simple conditions. A single-electron-transfer pathway is proposed according to mechanistic
