Phenanthridine is a nitrogen
fluorescent dyes through intercalation. Examples of such dyes are ethidium bromide and propidium iodide. It is an isomer of acridine
.
Phenanthridine was discovered by
o-xenylamine) with zinc chloride at elevated temperatures.[4]
The reaction conditions for the Pictet–Hubert reaction were improved by Morgan and Walls in 1931, replacing the metal by
phosphorus oxychloride and using nitrobenzene as a reaction solvent.[5] For this reason, the reaction is also called the Morgan–Walls reaction.[6]
The reaction is similar to the Bischler–Napieralski reaction and the Pictet–Spengler reaction.
