In the present work, we succeeded to synthesize the novel indolo‐spirocyclic compounds (4, 5, 6, 7 and 11) via electrophilic condensation reactions of indoles with carbonyl compounds including different types of ketones, for example, heteroacetyl ketones (3‐acetylindole and 3‐acetylpyridine), cyclohexanone, isatin, cyclohexane‐1,4‐dione, whereas an attempt to prepare the spirocyclic 9 failed. This new idea will open a high prospective for continuous investigations related to the synthesis of novel indolo‐spirocyclic compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
