Abstract

NHC–alcohol adduct-mediated deoxygenation of alcohols under photocatalytic conditions is described. This process provides various alkyl radicals, which can react with 2-isocyanobiaryls to afford 6-substituted phenanthridine derivatives in moderate to good yields. This method offered the first example of directly using alcohols as radical sources for 6-phenanthridine synthesis.
