Phenanthroline 1a was obtained in three steps (60%) from 2-bromonicotinaldehyde 6a and in four steps (41%) from 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine. Phenanthroline 1b was obtained in four steps (40%) from 2-hydroxy-6-methylnicotinonitrile and in four steps (46%) from 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine. Phenanthroline 1c was obtained in four steps (31%) and in seven steps (16%) from 2-hydroxy-6-methylnicotinonitrile (this pyridine is the common starting material for both bromoaldehyde 6b and phosphonium salt 7b). Phenanthroline 1d was obtained in four steps (25%) from 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethylnicotinonitrile and in four steps (37%) from 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine. Phenanthroline 1e was obtained in four steps (19%) and from 2-hydroxy-6-methylnicotinonitrile and in four steps (21%) from 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde. Phenanthroline 1f was obtained in four steps (5%) from 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethylnicotinonitrile and in four steps (7%) from 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde.
