Both the 3-fluorooxindole and cyclic sulfamidate frameworks are important in medicinal chemistry owing to their associated biological activities. We report an approach accessing 3-fully substituted 3-fluorooxindoles, containing a benzo-fused sulfamidate subunit through highly enantioselective Mannich-type reactions between 3-fluorooxindoles and cyclic benzo-fused N-sulfamidate aldimines. These reactions are promoted by a commercially available cinchona alkaloid catalyst, accommodate a broad substrate scope, and deliver the desired products in a yield of up to 99% with an enantiomeric excess of up to 94%. A plausible reaction pathway is also presented.

Both the 3-fluorooxindole and germinal bisphosphonate structural motifs are prevalent in bioactive molecules because of their associated biological activities. We describe an approach to accessing 3,3-disubstituted 3-fluorooxindoles bearing a geminal bisphosphate fragment through a highly enantioselective Michael addition reaction between 3-fluorooxindoles and vinylidene bisphosphonates. These reactions are catalyzed by a commercially available cinchona alkaloid catalyst, have a broad substrate scope concerning 3-fluorooxindoles, and provide the corresponding addition products in a yield of up to 95% with an enantiomeric excess of up to 95%.

Fluorinated oxindoles are frequently used building blocks in asymmetric synthesis and represent an important scaffold found in a variety of biologically relevant compounds. While it is understood that incorporation of fluorine atoms into organic molecules can improve their pharmacological properties, the impact on the configurational stability of chiral organofluorines is still underexplored. In this study, semipreparative HPLC enantioseparations of five oxindoles were carried out, and the resulting enantiomerically enriched solutions were used to investigate base promoted racemization kinetics at room temperature.

3,3-Disubstituted oxindoles bearing a stereogenic 3-fluorinated carbon center are privileged structural motifs present in many bioactive molecules. The straightforward functionalization of 3-fluorooxindoles constitutes a powerful method for the synthesis of 3-fully substituted 3-fluorooxindoles, taking advantage of the ease of preparation of 3-fluorooxindoles with different substitution patterns and the atom efficiency of chemical reactions. In the past decade, many papers have appeared on the synthesis of 3-fully substituted 3-fluorooxindoles from 3-fluorooxindoles.

3-Fluorooxindoles and the dibenzo[,][1,4]oxazepane scaffolds are important pharmacophores that have important application in medicinal chemistry. An organocatalyzed asymmetric Mannich reaction of 3-fluorooxindoles with dibenzo[,][1,4]oxazepines affording various seven-member cyclic amines containing chiral tetrasubstituted C-F stereocenters was developed. These reactions which were catalyzed by a bifunctional alkaloid-derived thiourea catalyst afforded a wide range of substrates in moderate to high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 88% yield, >20:1 dr and >99% ee).

An enantioselective Mannich reaction between 3-fluorooxindoles and pyrazolinone ketimines has been developed for the construction of amino-pyrazolone-oxindoles containing stereogenic C-F units. Based on this new protocol that allows for the generation of two adjacent tetrasubstituted stereocenters, a variety of structurally diverse fluorinated amino-pyrazolone-oxindoles were obtained in good to excellent yields with excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities (up to 98% yield, >20 : 1 dr and >99% ee). What's more, good yield and high stereoselectivities were obtained in the gram-scale reaction.
