A facile synthetic approach to access of 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives has been achieved by a sequential I2-promoted cyclization/Staudinger/aza-Wittig/dehydroaromatization reaction. The targeted products were received in moderate to good yields (62–81%). The broad substrate scope and easy availability of the starting materials make this method a valuable tool for generating 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline products.
