Abstract

A new four-component synthesis of spiro[4H-indeno[1,2-b]pyridine-4,3′-[3H]indoles] and spiro[acenaphthylene-1(2H),4′-[4H-indeno[1,2-b]pyridines] by the reaction of indane-1,3-dione, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, isatins (=1H-indole-2,3-diones) or acenaphthylene-1,2-dione, and AcONH4 in refluxing toluene in the presence of a catalytic amount of pyridine is reported.
