- 13 Typical Procedure for the Preparation of Spiro-cyclopropaneoxindoles To a solution of InCl3 (15 mg, 20 mol%) in H2O (5 mL) was added diazoamide 1e (100 mg, 0.35 mmol) and (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (100 mg, 0.42 mmol) under an air atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h and extracted with EtOAc (3 × 25 mL). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography using silica gel (hexanes–EtOAc) to afford cyclopropane 3d (126 mg, 73%) as a colorless solid. 2-Benzoyl-1′-benzyl-5′-chloro-3-phenylspiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-one (3d) Colorless solid; yield 68%; mp 173–175 °C.
