Phenanthridine cores play an important role in a large number of natural products. The diversity of these molecules is huge and far reaching from almost completely unsubstituted phenanthridine cores to more complex structures. We herein report an improved photochemical method for producing the prolifically bioactive phenanthridine system. A wide variety of derivatives were obtained in two steps in yields ranging from 31-95%. <i> Linsenmeier, A. M.; Williams, C. M.; Br�se, S. J. Org.
