Abstract

A new route to the pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinoline ring system has been developed. The synthesis proceeds stereoselectively in three steps, using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides as a key step. First, a series of 4-arylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids have been prepared from the appropriate cinnamic esters and a nonstabilized azomethine ylide. The reduction of a nitro group on the aromatic ring was followed by acid-catalyzed intramolecular lactam formation.
