Abstract

A new one-pot protocol has been developed for the facile and efficient synthesis of aza-fused polycyclic quinolines (e.g., pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines) by the base-catalyzed reaction of 2-formylpyrroles and 2-halophenylacetonitriles. This reaction proceeded under transition metal-free conditions and showed high functional group tolerance, with the desired products being formed in good yields.
