Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the chemical and biological aspects of
Narcissus alkaloids. Numerous alkaloids have been isolated from Narcissus …

Conspectus Cross-coupling reactions, especially those that are catalyzed by palladium,
have revolutionized the way in which carbon–carbon bonds can be formed. The most …

A novel, one-step synthesis of substituted pyridine-and quinoline-derivatives was achieved
by acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of γ-aminoalcohols with secondary alcohols. The …

Many steps make light work: substituted phenanthridinones can be obtained with high
regioselectivity and in very good yields by palladium-catalyzed cyclization reactions of N …

A one-pot synthesis of phenanthridines and quinolines from commercially available or easily
prepared aldehydes has been reported. O-(4-Cyanobenzoyl) hydroxylamine was utilized as …

This work emphasizes the synthesis of substituted vinyl arenes by reductive coupling of aryl
halides with vinyl bromides under mild and easy‐to‐operate nickel‐catalyzed reaction …

Synthesis of substituted phenanthridinones and dibenzoazepinones has been realized from
2-halo-benzamides in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide and a catalytic amount of 1 …

An iron-catalyzed strategy for the rapid synthesis of indolo [2, 3-c] quinolines has been
developed. This cascade reaction involving alcohol oxidation, nitro reduction, and oxidative …

This research aimed to provide a new and “clean” synthetic method that would enable both
known and novel N-heterocycles to be prepared efficiently. O-Phenyl oximes were found to …

A copper-catalyzed synthesis of phenanthridine derivatives was developed starting from
biaryl-2-carbonitriles and Grignard reagents. The present transformation is carried out by a …
