Intramolecular C-H arylations were employed as a key step in the synthesis of hitherto unknown fused purine systems: 13-substituted purino[8,9-f]phenanthridines and 11-substituted 5,6-dihydropurino[8,9-a]isoquinolines. The purino[8,9-f]phenanthridines were prepared in moderate yields by double C-H arylations of 9-phenylpurines with 1,2-diiodobenzene or, more
