Abstract

AbstractA general concise method for the synthesis phenanthridin‐6(5H)‐ones via photoinduced intramolecular annulation of N‐phenylbenzamides was developed. Under argon atmosphere and room temperature, phenanthridin‐6(5H)‐ones were obtained via irradiation N‐phenylbenzamides with a 280 nm UV lamp in the presence of methanesulfonic acid in toluene. The mechanism is illustrated and believed to proceed in the order of amides tautomerization, 6π‐electric cyclization, [1,5]‐H shift, amide‐imidine tautomerization, keto‐enol tautomerism and evolution hydrogen.magnified image
