Abstract
A transition metal free approach for the synthesis of substituted phenanthridines from the coupling reaction of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates with nitriles has been developed. This operationally simple protocol proceeds through a substitution of aryldiazonium with nitriles followed by an intramolecular arylation to provide the corresponding phenanthridines in moderate to excellent yields.
