tricyclic core present in the spiro-pseudoindoxyl natural products has been developed. This involves two intramolecular events: the Au-catalyzed nitroalkyne redox leading to isatogen and its subsequent [3 + 2]-cycloaddition with a suitably positioned olefin. The option to modulate the size of the spiro-annulated ring, which is an important variable in this class of natural products, has been explored. Overall
