Substituted phenanthridines, such as the natural product trispheridine, have been accessed by the practical photochemical cyclization of N-benzylanilines. Functionalities, with a focus on fluoro substituents and protected catechols, are well tolerated on both the A and C rings. The phenanthridines were accessed in good to very good yields (up to 95 %) from iodinated substrates, whereas brominated substrates performed poorly in comparison (0-48 %).

A methodology involving a "transition metal-free" intramolecular biaryl-coupling of o-halo-N-arylbenzylamines has been developed in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide and an organic molecule as catalyst. The reaction appears to proceed through KOtBu-promoted intramolecular homolytic aromatic substitution (HAS). Interestingly, this biaryl coupling also works in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide as sole promoter. On extending our approach further, we found that N-acyl 2-bromo-N-arylbenzylamines undergo a one-pot N-deprotection/biaryl coupling followed by oxidation, thus offering an expeditious route to the phenanthridine and benzo[c]phenanthridine skeletons. The strategy has been applied to a concise synthesis of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids viz. oxoassoanine (1b), anhydrolycorinone (1d), 5,6-dihydrobicolorine (2d), trispheridine (2b), and benzo[c]phenanthridines alkaloids dihydronitidine (3b), dihydrochelerythidine (3d), dihydroavicine (3f), nornitidine (3h), and norchelerythrine (3j).

The synthesis of a series of substituted phenanthridines by photostimulated C-C cyclization of anions from N-(orrAo-halobenzyl)arylamines has been found to proceed in very good to excellent yields (79-95%) in liquid ammonia and in DMSO. The N-(ortho-halobenzyl)arylamines are obtained in good to very good isolated yields (44-85%) by nucleophilic substitution of orthohalobenzylchlorides with different arylamines. The reaction of the anions of a diverse set N-(orthohalobenzyl)arylamines was studied, and the methodology was extended to the synthesis of trispheridine, a natural product, in very good yield, In order to explain the regiochemical outcome of these reactions, a theoretical analysis was performed with DFT methods and the B3LYP functional.
