Here we describe the one‐pot construction of the pyrrolo[4,3,2‐de]quinolinone scaffold by a cascade nitration/cyclization sequence of 1,7‐enynes with t BuONO and H 2 O. The cascade proceeds through alkene nitration, 1,7‐enyne 6‐ exo ‐trig cyclization, CH nitrations, and redox cyclization, and exhibits excellent functional group tolerance. The mechanism was investigated using in situ high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HR‐MS).
