Herein we report an extended study of [4 + 2] benzannulation reactions of 2-(hetero)aryl-substituted anilines with alkynes by visible light photocatalysis. The method requires the use of tBuONO as a diazotizing agent and 0.3 mol % of fac-Ir(ppy)3 as a photocatalyst at room temperature. The reaction proceeded in a chemo- and regioselective manner with high functional group tolerance under mild conditions allowing the preparation of a wide variety of polycyclic (hetero)aromatic compounds, including phenanthrenes, in moderate to high yields. This procedure is amenable to gram-scale synthesis of 9-phenylphenanthrene.

A transition-metal-free phenanthrene synthesis starting from readily accessible ortho-amino-biaryls is presented. The biarylamines are in situ transformed into the corresponding diazonium salts which upon single electron reduction give the corresponding a
