Abstract
A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of 6-(trifluoromethyl)phenanthridines through oxidative cyclization of 2-isocyanobiphenyls with CF<sub>3</sub>SiMe<sub>3</sub> under metal-free conditions was developed. The reaction allows the direct formation of C–CF<sub>3</sub> bonds and rapid access to phenanthridine ring systems in one catalytic cycle
