Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of triazole-fused phenanthridines from 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles under palladium catalysis has been developed. The reaction proceeds through Pd-catalyzed intramolecular phenyl C–H activation of 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles. This method provides a concise and efficient pathway to construct triazolo[1,5-f]phenanthridine derivatives in excellent yields.

Key words

palladium catalyst - site-selective reactions - C–H activation - 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles - fused phenanthridines

19 Synthesis of Triazolophenanthridines 2; General Procedure To a 50 mL pressure tube, 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazole were added 1 (0.3 mmol), Pd(OAc)₂ (0.03 mmol), PCy₃ (0.06 mmol), CsOPiv (0.9 mmol), and toluene (2 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 130 °C for 24 h. After consumption of the 1,5-disubstitued 1,2,3-triazoles monitored by TLC analysis, the mixture was treated with H₂O (15 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3 × 15 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (3 × 5 mL), dried with Na₂SO₄, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a crude product. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel with EtOAc-PE (1:8) afforded the desired products 2.9-Methyl-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-f]phenanthridine (2a)White solid; yield: 65 mg (93%); mp 159.8–160.8 °C.
