Asymmetric Organocatalyzed Michael Addition of Nitromethane to a 2-Oxoindoline-3-ylidene Acetaldehyde and the Three One-Pot Sequential Synthesis of (−)-Horsfiline and (−)-Coerulescine

TL;DR: (-)-Horsfiline and (-)-coerulescine were synthesized through three one-pot operations in 33 and 46% overall yield, respectively, allowing the all-carbon quaternary, spirocyclic carbon stereocenter to be constructed in good yield with excellent enantioselectivity.

Aryl radical cyclisation onto pyrroles

TL;DR: In this paper, the intramolecular cyclisation of aryl radicals onto a pyrrole is studied and the cyclisation allows the synthesis of either the spiropyrrolidinyloxindole or the pyrrolo[3,2-c ]quinoline skeleton depending on the nature of the protecting group at the N -pyrrole atom.

Chemistry of andrographolide: formation of novel di-spiropyrrolidino and di-spiropyrrolizidino-oxindole adducts via one-pot three-component [3+2] azomethine ylide cycloaddition

TL;DR: In this paper, a facile synthesis of novel di-spiro compounds has been achieved via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated in situ from isatin derivatives and sarcosine to the conjugated double bond of andrographolide.

Copper-catalysed approach to spirocyclic oxindoles via a direct C-H, Ar-H functionalisation

TL;DR: A practical and efficient entry to spirocyclic oxindoles from readily accessible anilide precursors, using only catalytic amounts of an inexpensive copper salt together with air as the sole re-oxidant is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catalytic asymmetric construction of 3,3'-spirooxindoles fused with seven-membered rings by enantioselective tandem reactions.

TL;DR: This approach takes advantage of organocatalytic asymmetric tandem reactions to efficiently construct the structurally rigid spirobenzodiazepine oxindole architecture with high enantiopurity in a single transformation, which involves a cascade enamine-imine formation/intramolecular Mannich reaction sequence.
