A Diastereoselective Synthesis of Dispiro[oxindole-cyclohexanone]pyrrolidines by 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition

Molecules. 2017 Dec 4;22(12):2134. doi: 10.3390/molecules22122134.

Abstract

For the first time, arylmethylidene cyclohexanones that are non-symmetrical due to the presence of peripheral substituents were studied in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. It is shown that the interaction with the azomethine ylide generated from sarcosine proceeds regio- and diastereoselectively, with the participation of two non-equivalent parts of the dipolarophile. Also for the first time, β-amino ketones (Mannich bases) were used as dipolarophile equivalents of unsaturated ketones. It was found that cycloaddition occurs diastereoselectively at the generated center.

Keywords: 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition; azomethine ylides; sarcosine; spiro[indoline-3,2′-pyrrolidin]-2-one; unsaturated ketones.
