title: Synthesis of phenanthridine derivatives via cascade annulation of diaryliodonium salts and nitriles.
abstract: A cascade coupling reaction toward a variety of phenanthridine derivatives has been developed. This cascade transformation proceeds via the copper-catalyzed coupling reaction of diaryliodonium salts and nitriles, and undergoes cyclization into the phenanthridine core.
