Na2S2O8-promoted decarboxylative cyclization of biaryl-2-oxamic acid for phenanthridinones has been developed. This work illustrates the first example of intramolecular decarboxylative amidation of unactivated arene under transition-metal-free conditions. Additionally, this approach provides an efficient and economical method to access biologically interesting phenanthridinones, an important structure motif in many natural products.

Triphenylphosphine-mediated reductive cyclization of 2-nitrobiphenyls: A practical and convenient synthesis of carbazoles

The synthesis of a series of substituted carbazoles from the corresponding 2-nitrobiphenyl derivatives using a novel modification of the Cadogan reaction is described. Cyclization of the 2-nitrobiphenyls was achieved via reductive deoxygenation of the nitro groups using a slight excess of triphenylphosphine in a suitable solvent. We have observed a temperature dependence on the extent of conversion under these conditions, with higher boiling solvents affording higher yields across a range of substrates. The new reaction conditions are very straightforward and convenient to execute, tolerate a broad range of functional groups, and yield carbazole products in the absence of unwanted side products.
