The synthesis of the novel pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolin-4-one system has been achieved from the easily available tetrahydro-β-carboline 1-carboethoxy derivative using the Winterfeldt oxidation conditions (air, t-BuOK, DMF). Modification of the C-1 substituents by replacing hydrogen or aryl with an ester moiety led to a change in the reaction pathway giving the pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolin-4-one system instead of the pyrrolo[3,4-b]quinolin-9-one system.
