Decarboxylative-Mediated Regioselective 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition for Diversity-Oriented Synthesis of Structurally exo′-Selective Spiro[oxindole-pyrrolidine-dihydrocoumarin] Hybrids

Abstract

A general and practical three-component regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3-amino-oxindole-based azomethine ylides and coumarins has been developed. This reaction displayed good substrate tolerance and gave a diverse array of biologically relevant spiro[ox-­i­ndole-pyrrolidine-dihydrocoumarin] derivatives bearing four contiguous stereocenters including one spiro quaternary center in moderate to high yields (up to 90%) with high diastereoselectivities (up to 15:1 dr). It is based on the application of carboxylic acid activated coumarins as dienophiles followed by a decarboxylation process. The possible mechanism of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is proposed via an exo′-transition state. Furthermore, this is the first example of decarboxylative-mediated regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3-amino-oxindole-based azomethine ylides and coumarins.

Key words

decarboxylative - regioselective - 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition - diversity-oriented synthesis - multiple pharmacore molecules
