title: Cascade approach to substituted 6-aryl-phenanthridines from aromatic aldehydes, anilines, and benzenediazonium-2-carboxylate.
abstract: Aromatic aldehydes reacted with anilines and benzenediazonium-2-carboxylate to afford 6-aryl-phenanthridines. The reaction furnishes a rapid and direct construction of substituted phenanthridine rings from readily available starting materials via a one-pot cascade process.
