Abstract

A new route to the pyrrolo [3, 4-c] quinoline ring system has been developed via the 1, 5- dipolar electrocyclisation reactions of azomethine ylides derived from easily available 3- formylquinoline derivatives. The intermediacy of azomethine ylides was shown by the trapping of the proposed dipoles with N-phenylmaleimide.
