In this study, a one-pot, three-component reaction of two molecules of indane-1,3-dione with aromatic aldehydes for the synthesis of spirocyclopropylindanediones using poly(N-bromo-N-ethylbenzene-1,3-disulfonamide) (PBBS), N,N,N′,N′-tetrabromobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide (TBBDA), poly(N-chloro-N-ethylbenzene-1,3-disulfonamide) (PCBS), and N,N,N′,N′-tetrachlorobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide (TCBDA) as novel reagents has been developed. In addition, an effective and simple domino procedure for the preparation of spirodicyanocyclopropylindanediones from indane-1,3-dione and 2-arylidenemalononitriles is reported. These reactions involve Michael addition, halogenation, and intramolecular ring-closing (MHIRC) reaction sequences.The smallest cycloalkane is found as a main structural element in a broad range of naturally occurring compounds. 1 Cyclopropanes are attractive and often sought synthetic targets, because the specific reactivity of this carbocyclic ring system renders them useful as versatile intermediates in the synthesis of complex molecules. 2 The spiro ring effectively restricts the aromatic ring to different conformations without a large increase in carbon number or strict bulk. Restriction of aromatic rings to different areas relative to the spiro ring may produce compounds with different pharmacological activity. 3,4 Therefore, the construction of spiro-cyclopropane skeletons has attracted extensive attention, and a variety of efficient procedures have been developed for the synthesis of these important structures, including Michael-initiated ring closure (MIRC), transition-metal-catalyzed carbine transfer, organocatalytic cyclopropanation, and from alkenes by Simmons-Smith and related reactions or with ylides, for example, phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic, and phenyliodonium ylides. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] One of the most common methods for the construction of cyclopropane rings is Michael-initiated ring closure (MIRC) from electron-poor alkenes. 13 According to the nature of the involved substrates/reactants, we can divide these reactions into two classes. 14 The first one includes Michael addition of a substrate bearing a leaving group to an activated alkene. The second type of MIRC method involves nucleophilic addition to electrophilic substrates that contain a leaving group for the formation of cyclopropanes. 15 In the Michael addition-halogenation-intramolecular ring-closing (MHIRC) strategy, the halogen atom as a leaving group can attach to substrates or reactants during the reaction, which then undergoes intramolecular ring closure to produce the corresponding three-membered ring (Scheme 1). 16
