A copper-catalyzedsynthesis of phenanthridine derivatives was developed startingfrom biaryl-2-carbonitriles and Grignard reagents. The present transformation is carried out by a sequence of nucleophilic addition of Grignard reagents to biaryl-2-carbonitriles to form N-H imines and their Cu-catalyzed C−N bond formation on the aromatic C−H bond, where molecular oxygen is a prerequisite to achieve the
