5-Methoxyphenanthridin-6(5H)-ones reacted with aryl Grignard reagents to afford phenanthridine compounds. The method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions with good yields and provides a new synthetic procedure for the phenanthridine derivatives. However, the products were phenanthridin-6(5H)-ones when alkyl magnesium bromide reacted with 5-methoxyphenanthridin-6(5H)-ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
