Abstract

A highly efficient synthesis of a phenanthridine alkaloid, trispheridine (1) has been achieved in a 74% overall yield in a four-step sequence. The key step is the construction of a tetrahydrophenanthridine based on a microwave -assisted thermal electrocyclic reaction of an aza 6¿-electron system including the benzene double bond.
