Highly Enantioselective One-Pot Synthesis of Spirocyclopentaneoxindoles Containing the Oxime Group by Organocatalyzed Michael Addition/ISOC/Fragmentation Sequence
A highly diastereo- and enantioselectiveorganocatalytic protocol for the synthesis of biologically important spirocyclopentaneoxindoles containing the oxime functional group from easily accessible 3-allyl-substituted oxindoles and nitroolefins has been developed by a one-pot Michaeladdition/ISOC/fragmentation sequence.
