Synthesis of xanthenone fused spiro pyrrolidine oxindoles via multicomponent [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions
摘要
Xanthenone fused spiro-pyrrolidine oxindoles were conveniently synthesized in good yields with high regio- and diastereoselectivity from a multicomponent synthesis involving tetrahydroxanthenones, α-amino acids, and isatins via an azomethine ylide based [3 + 2] cycloaddition process. We utilized tetrahydroxanthenone as a dipolarophile for the first time in the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of decarboxylated azomethine ylide. The relative configuration of the spirocycloadduct was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
Graphical abstractWe have developed a straightforward protocol for the regio and diastereoselective synthesis of xanthenone fused spiro pyrrolidine oxindoles via MC-1,3 DCA, utilizing tetrahydroxanthenoe in azomethine ylide cycloaddition through decarboxylation.
