Abstract

Collective total syntheses of 10 benzo[c]phenanthridines were achieved on the basis of the construction of rings C and B through sequential transition metal-catalyzed reactions and flexible condition-controlled Mannich reaction via three pots in 25-34% yields, which provided an efficient route to benzo[c]phenanthridines via a pot-economic approach.
