The one-pot three-component reaction of L-proline, isatins and 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ones and sequential reaction with methyl propiolate in refluxing methanol resulted in novel functionalized spiro[chromane-2,3'-indoline]-2',4-diones as major products and spiro[chromeno[3,2-d]azocine-2,3'indolin]-3-yl)acrylate as minor products. On the other hand, the similar one-pot-three-component reaction of L-proline, isatins and 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-ones and sequential reaction with methyl propiolate in refluxing acetonitrile predominately afforded the unique 6b,14-(epoxy[1,2]benzeno)pyrrolo[1',2':1,2]azocino[4,5-c]quinoline-8carboxylates in satisfactory yields.
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.
