Abstract

The base mediated cycloaddition reactions of 4-dimethylamino-1-phenacylpyridinium bromides with two molecular 3-phenacylideneoxindoles in methylene dichloride afforded functionalized dispirocyclopentyl-3,3′-bisoxindoles in good yields and with high diastereoselectivity. The similar cycloaddition reactions of 1-(N,N-dialkylcarbamoylmethyl) and 1-cyanomethyl 4-dimethylamino-pyridinium bromide in refluxing ethanol in the presence of triethylamine also resulted in dispirocyclopentyl-3,3′-bisoxindoles with high diastereoselectivity. The stereochemistry of dispirocyclopentyl-3,3′-bisoxindoles was elucidated on the basis of 1H NMR data and single crystal structures.
