A simple and efficient one-pot synthetic approach was used for the preparation of biologically interesting spirooxindole derivatives by means of three-component reactions of isatins, malononitrile, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds catalyzed by ethylenediamine diacetate (EDDA) in an aqueous medium. This method is of great value because of its environmentally benign character, high yield, and easy handling.

New synthetic routes to acronycine (Ia), noracronycine (Ib), and some of their analogues by using standard methodologies are presented.
