1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of 3-Amino Oxindole-Based Azomethine Ylides and O-Vinylphosphonylated Salicylaldehydes for Diastereoselective Synthesis of Oxindole Spiro-P,N-polycyclic Heterocycles

Abstract An efficient stereoselective assembly strategy for the construction of pyrrolidin-2,3′-oxindole cis -fused phosphadihydrocoumarins was established. The process involves the condensation of O-vinylphosphonylated salicylaldehydes and 3-amino oxindoles followed by intermolecular cycloaddition with high diastereoselectivity and atom economy.
