A number of γ-cyanoalkyl radicals were generated by sustainable N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis in tin-, transition-meal-, and light-free conditions, followed by insertion into biaryl isonitriles, thus leading to the rapid assembly of a variety of diversely functionalized 6-cyanoalkyl phenanthridines. A preliminary mechanism study revealed that a single-electron transfer radical process was possibly involved.
