Abstract
A visible-light-induced annulation/thiolation of 2-isocyanobiaryls with dialkyl(aryl)disulfides has been established, delivering a sustainable and atom-economic route to 6-organoylthiophenanthridines with wild functional group tolerance and good to excellent yields under oxidant-, base-, and transition-metal-free conditions.
