A mechanistically new strategy has been described for the simple, practical, and environmentally friendly preparation of 6-(trifluoromethyl)phenanthridine derivatives using ionic isocyanide insertion from biphenyl isocyanide derivatives and Umemoto’s reagent. These reactions were promoted only by inorganic base in good-to-excellent chemical yields without any external stoichiometric oxidants and radical
A palladium-catalyzed tandem Suzuki/C–H arylation reaction of N-aryltrifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides with arylboronic acids has been developed. A variety of 6-(trifluoromethyl)phenanthridines were prepared in moderate to excellent yields from N-(2-bromophenyl)trifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides which can be conveniently prepared from 2-bromoaniline derivatives.

A mild and efficient visible light-mediated intramolecular radical cyclization of trifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides is developed for the synthesis of 6-(trifluoromethyl)phenanthridine derivatives. The reaction involves the generation of radical intermediates from C(sp2)–Cl bonds and a homolytic radical aromatic substitution (HAS) process.
A photocatalyst-free, light promoted sequential radical addition/annulation of 2-isocyanobiphenyls to 6-trifluoromethyl phenanthridines with high efficiency is presented.
