Palladium‐Catalyzed Domino Direct Arylation/N‐Arylation: Convenient Synthesis of Phenanthridines

Abstract

Domino reactions possess the ability to generate complexity from simple starting materials. Disclosed is a strategy for the domino direct arylation/N-arylation for the facile construction of diverse phenanthridine derivatives (see scheme; TMS=trimethylsilyl, TBDMS=tert-butyldimethylsilyl).
