Abstract

A new route for the synthesis of novel spirooxindoles from isocyanides, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and N-substituted isatylidene derivatives through [3+2] cycloaddition has been developed. This method has several advantages, such as high regioselectivity, high yields, readily available starting materials, and one-pot operations. The synthetic alkyne-containing spirooxindoles could also be used in the selective synthesis of triazole-containing­ spirocyclic compounds using a copper azide–alkyne cycloaddition­ (CuAAC) reaction.
