An unexpected Michael addition-inspired ring-opening/closure cascade reaction of 3-hydroxyoxindoles with coumarin-3-carboxylates was developed to access new dihydrobenzofuran or dihydrobenzothiophene spirooxindoles in 68–98% yields. This reaction not only provides an expedient and convenient method to assemble dihydrobenzofuran spirooxindoles, but also establishes a new reaction mode of coumarin-3-carboxylates
activation of saturated acid chlorides by oxidative N-heterocycliccarbene catalysis has been successfully utilized to synthesize enantio-enriched spirooxindolelactones and δ-lactones. The reaction involves the transformation of the β sp3 carbon of saturated acid chlorides into an electrophilic carbon as a key step. The product was obtained in excellent yield and stereoselectivity.

The first organocatalytic asymmetric sequential allylic alkylationâcyclization of MoritaâBaylisâHillman carbonates and 3-hydroxyoxindoles has been developed to afford spirooxindoles bearing α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone motifs in 25â85% yield, 60â94% ee and up to >20â:â1 diastereoselectivity.
A one-pot squaramide-catalyzed enantioselective ring-reorganization domino sequence (Michael addition/intramolecular ring-opening/lactamization) of 3-hydroxyoxindole and methyleneindolinone, which can be readily derived from 3-oxindole, has been established in this work. As a result, novel polycyclic quinolinone-spirooxindoles bearing three contiguous chiral centers were efficiently and step-economically assembled under mild conditions in high yields (up to 97%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) and moderate to good diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5 dr).
