Palladium-catalyzed annulation reactions of methyl o-halobenzoates with azabicyclic alkenes: a general protocol for the construction of benzo [c] phenanthridine …
The annulation reaction of methyl o-halobenzoates with azabicyclic alkenes proceeds efficiently to give the corresponding benzo [c] phenanthridine derivatives in good to excellent yields using a developed base-free methodology based on our preliminary studies. Thirty-seven application examples validate the compatibility of the present strategy with different groups, particularly with the electron-deficient ones, that are difficult to ...
