title: Copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of vinyl azides with benzylic Csp3-H bonds for the synthesis of substituted phenanthridines.
abstract: A copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of vinyl azides with benzylic Csp3-H bonds via a tandem dual C-H functionalization process has been developed. This procedure allows access to substituted phenanthridines containing a variety of functional groups. In addition to benzyl hydrocarbons, other substrates containing unactivated Csp3-H bonds, such as ethers and alkanes could also be applied successfully to this transformation.
