A variety of spirooxindole-1,2-oxazinan-5-one derivatives were prepared in moderate to excellent yields through 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)-promoted [3 + 3] cycloaddition of -vinyl oxindole nitrones with oxyallyl cations generated from α-tosyloxy ketones under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies revealed that [3 + 3] cycloaddition might involve two possible reaction pathways, including direct [3 + 3] cycloaddition of -vinyl oxindole ntirones with oxyallyl cations, or the addition of TFE to -vinyl oxindole nitrones, sequential addition to oxyallyl cations, elimination, and cyclization. The present method features mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, easy gram scalable preparation, and new applications of TFE.

A palladium-catalyzed domino cyclization/cycloisomerization reaction of alkyne-tethered carbamoyl chlorides with ()-β-chloroenones is reported. This reaction proceeds via a -carbopalladation of the alkyne, followed by a vinyl-Pd-catalyzed cycloisomerization of the ()-β-chloroenone cascade, which provides an efficient method to synthesize furan-linked methylene oxindoles. The reaction features stereodefined vinyl-Pd species, high to excellent 5-exo/6-endo selectivity, excellent / selectivity, and the sequential formation of three bonds and bis-heterocycles.

Herein, we disclose a photoinduced radical cascade cyclization of alkynes with sulfinates via a novel EDA complex for the synthesis of various 3-sulfonylindoles and vinyl sulfone oxindoles, which are crucial motifs in medicinal and biological chemistry. The reaction proceeds under mild, photocatalyst- and transition-metal-free conditions, featuring operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and easy scalability. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction is initiated with a photoinduced intermolecular charge transfer from sulfinates to -sulfonamides, generating a sulfonyl radical followed by an -centered radical, thus enabling the cascade cyclization process.

The development of an electrochemical cobalt catalyzed C-Cl bond activation at room temperature for the nucleophilic addition of aryl and vinyl chlorides to α-ketoamides is described. The overall method operates through an electrochemically induced low valent cobalt catalyst that oxidatively adds to aryl or vinyl chlorides affording medicinally important 3-hydroxy oxindole and 3-hydroxypyrrolidinone scaffolds. The development of an enantioselective version using a chiral pyrox ligand is also demonstrated.

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric chloroenolate allylation with vinyl benzoxazinanones under mild reaction conditions has been developed, affording a series of optically active 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles exhibiting a chloro-group and a linear aryl amino side chain in good yields with up to 96% ee. Versatile functional group tolerance on the benzene ring has been demonstrated, and the utility of this method was probed by a scale-up synthesis and highlighted by product derivatizations.
