Synthesis of Triazole-Fused Phenanthridines through Pd-Catalyzed Intramolecular Phenyl C–H Activation of 1,5-Diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of triazole-fused phenanthridines from 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles under palladium catalysis has been developed. The reaction proceeds through Pd-catalyzed intramolecular phenyl C–H activation of 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles. This method provides a concise and efficient pathway to construct triazolo[1,5-f]phenanthridine derivatives in excellent yields.
