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
