3-Substituted 2-quinolones are obtained via a novel metal-free transannulation reaction of 2-nitroolefins with 2-substitutedindoles in polyphosphoric acid. This acid-mediated cascade transformation operates via the ANRORC (Addition of Nucleophile, Ring Opening, and Ring Closure) mechanism and can be used in combination with the Fisher indole synthesis to offer a practical three-component hetero-annulation
