Visible-Light-Mediated Tandem Sulfonylation/Cyclization of Vinyl Azides with Sulfonyl Hydrazines for the Synthesis of 6-(Sulfonylmethyl)phenanthridines under Mild Conditions

Abstract

A visible-light-mediated tandem sulfonylation/cyclization of vinyl azides with sulfonyl hydrazines was developed that provides an efficient and simple strategy for the synthesis of valuable 6-(sulfonylmethyl)phenanthridines with a broad substrate scope and satisfactory yields under mild conditions.
