Palladium-catalyzed C–H bond activation and decarboxylation for the assembly of indolo[1,2-f]phenanthridine

Abstract

A direct and convenient strategy for the assembly of Indolo[1,2-f]phenanthridine via Pd-catalyzed tandem cyclization reaction is presented. The current strategy delivers a range of Indolo[1,2-f]phenanthridine by utilizing readily available 1-(2-iodophenyl)-1H-indole...
