Assembly of Spirooxindole Derivatives Containing Four Consecutive Stereocenters via Organocatalytic Michael–Henry Cascade Reactions

Abstract: A novel organocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of highly substituted spirocyclopentaneoxindoles was developed employing simple nitrostyrenes and 3-substituted oxindoles as starting materials. Michael-Henry cascade reactions, enabled through cinchona alkaloid organocatalysis, provided products in high yield and excellent enantioselectivity in a single step.

“…3 However, the majority of methods concern the synthesis of six-membered cycloalkanes possessing multiple stereocenters in their backbone. 4 Few examples relate to the construction of five-membered systems, [5][6][7][8][9] including those employing multistep reactions. 5,9 In 2007, Wang reported an asymmetric organocatalytic cascade double Michael addition reaction in which a cyclopentane backbone could be constructed with three stereogenic centers.…”

“…[2] The 5,6,7,8-tetra-and 5,6-dihydroindolizine frameworks ( Figure 1) have recently drawn tremendous interest from both synthetic and medicinal chemists because of their properties as anti-tumor, [3a,g] antileukemia, [3b] anti-cholinergic agents, [2a] and other important biological activities. Recently, there has been considerable progress in the field of organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of other important nitrogen-containing heterocycles based on the (ox)indole skeleton, [6,7] but the enantioselective synthesis of pyrrole derivatives has been less studied because of the difficulties in stereocontrol and mode of activation. [4] Thus, the design of new synthetic methods to provide molecules in this class of compounds is of interest, and intramolecular cyclization of intermediates using metal-catalyzed, [5c-g] radical, [5h-i] and base-induced processes have been reported.…”
