Abstract

A series of spirooxindoles containing tri- and tetracyclic fused pyrrolo benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxide derivatives was synthesized regioselectively via a multicomponent 1,3-dipolar cyclo­addition of isatin, benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxide and sarcosine or l-proline in methanol under reflux condition. Also a series of spiro frameworks having tri- and tetracyclic fused pyrrolo benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxide derivatives was synthesized from ninhydrin, 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one and acenaphthene-quinone using benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxide as a dipolarophile. The methodology affords high yields of products in short reaction time.

Key words

spirooxindoles - azomethine ylide - multicomponent ­reaction - benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxide - dipolarophile
