Significance
The authors report a synthesis of spirooxindole pyrans through a Brønsted acid catalyzed Prins cyclization. The reaction is highly diastereoselective and the products comprise an important structural motif. Several reactions of the products are reported to yield a variety of interesting derivatives.
