title: Synthesis of 6-(arylthio)phenanthridines by copper-catalyzed tandem reactions of 2-biaryl isothiocyanates with diaryliodonium salts.
abstract: A novel copper-catalyzed tandem C-S/C-C bond-forming reaction of 2-biaryl isothiocyanates with diaryliodonium salts was developed. This is the first general approach to synthesize phenanthridines from 2-biaryl isothiocyanates. This methodology has been successfully applied to the synthesis of trisphaeridine.
