Unprecedented hydrothermal reaction of o-phenylaniline and related derivatives with cyclic ketones. A novel approach to the construction of phenanthridine and quinoline ring systems.
[reaction: see text] A new method for synthesizing phenanthridine and its related compounds was developed using the condensation of o-phenylaniline and its homologues with cyclic ketones under hydrothermal conditions.
