In this context, this workdescribes an efficient and versatile methodology for the synthesis of fused N-polyheterocyclic scaffolds from functionalizednitroarenes and aldehydes catalyzed by dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes and employing pinacol as a readily available andenvironmentally benign reductant. The protocol integrates nitro reduction, imine formation, and intramolecular cyclization ina single operational sequence. Careful fine-tuning of the reaction conditions proved crucial to minimizing competing pathways.This molybdenum-catalyzed strategy exhibits broad substrate scope, accommodating aromatic, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturatedaldehydes, and enabling access to a variety of pharmaceutically relevant frameworks, such as pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines,indoloquinoxalines, γ-carbolines, imidazoquinolines, and phenanthridines.
