Abstract

The reaction of azomethine ylide generated in situ from ninhydrin and sarcosine/thiaproline with fluorinated cyclopent[b]indole dipolarophiles in refluxing dioxane and methanol afforded a novel class of fluorinated cyclopent[b]indole dispiroheterocycles via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The crystal structures of 4′-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1′,5-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrodispiro[cyclopent[b]-indol-2,3′-pyrrolidine-2′,2″-indene]-1,1″,3″-trione and 4′-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-2,3-dihydrodispiro[cyclopent[b]indol-2,3′-pyrrolizidine-2′,2″-indene]-1,1″,3″-trione are reported. New compounds are investigated theoretically via DFT calculations utilizing M062X hybrid function with 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets in vacuum. Results from in vitro cytotoxicity screening are compared with those of standard drugs.
