Abstract

Acridines and phenazines are common motifs in bioactive compounds and natural products. Many excellent works on the synthesis of these skeletons starting from diaryliodonium salts, benzaldehydes, anthranils, azobenzenes, and nitrosobenzenes have been reported. In this overview, we highlight several recent elegant works on the synthesis of acridines and phenazines.
