“…17,18 Other known methodologies utilize techniques such as microwave irradiation and sonication with heating, which generally result in insufficient yields of spiroindoline-3,4'-pyrano[3,2-c]quinolones. 19,20 In regard to spiroindoline-3,4'-pyrano[3,2c]chromenes, most methods are concerned either with only one or two examples of the synthesis of spiroindoline-3,4'-pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes, 16,[21][22][23][24] or suffer from high temperatures, extremely expensive catalysts [25][26][27] and also long reaction times (of the order of two days). 28 © ARKAT USA, Inc Thus, each of the known procedures for the synthesis of the spiro-oxindole fragments connected with a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic system has its merits; however, a fast and efficient PASE 'solvent-free' and 'onsolvent' method for this process has yet to be developed.…”
