The benzo [c] phenanthridine class of substances display a variety of pharmacological properties. A large number of naturally occurring alkaloids that contain a benzo [c] phenanthridine ring system and have a known spectrum of activity are mentioned in the literature.[1, 2] Aside from fagaronine (1), the most important representative of this group of natural products, other alkaloids with extensive pharmacological potential are nitidine (2), chelerythrine (3), and sanguinarine (4; Scheme 1).[3–5] The synthesis of these natural products is of great interest, because they can be isolated from plant materials only in very small amounts. Cushman etal.[6] describe yields in the 0.003 to 0.07% range for the isolation of 2 from a series of zanthoxylum and fagara varieties. Compound 1 was first isolated from the root of Fagara zanthoxyloides in 1972.[7]The first total synthesis of 1 was described by Gillespie et al. in 1974.[8] This synthetic route gave 1 in 0.7% yield starting from 2, 3-dimethoxy-5-nitronaphthalene. Other synthetic routes to 1 have been described by Ishii et al.,[9] Treus et al.,[4] Lunch et al.,[5] and Š midrkal [10], the latter being only a
