We describe an alternative approach to polycyclic phenanthridines (7) and some of their analogues using conditions much milder than those previously reported. The procedure includes the generation of a benzotriazole stabilized carbanion, oxidation of the resulting anion to a radical, and elimination of nitrogen followed by ring closure to produce phenanthridines.
