Two efficient and convenient methods for the synthesis of 3-alkylideneoxindoles are described in this paper. The InCl/TfOH-mediated tandem Knoevenagel condensation-deacylation sequence of various 2-oxindoles with 1,3-diones or acetoacetate furnished 3-alkylideneoxindoles in satisfactory to excellent yields (up to >99% yield). Employing the reaction system, the condensation of 2-oxindoles with ketones or aldehydes also proceeded smoothly to produce 3-alkylideneoxindoles. This protocol can be amenable to scale up. The effect of acids on this condensation reaction and intermolecular competition experiments were investigated to understand the aspect of the reaction.

Readily available 3-alkylideneoxindoles were effectively reduced to 3-alkyloxindoles through transfer hydrogenation using Hantzsch ester as a reducing agent at ambient temperature and the greenness/sustainability of this protocol was assessed by correlation with Pd/C-mediated hydrogenation with hydrogen gas. Furthermore, an organocatalytic method was developed to access drug-like 3-alkyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles by C-H oxidation of 3-alkyl-indolin-2-one, using a catalytic amount of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) as an organic base and dissolved oxygen in THF as an oxidant at room temperature. Key reaction intermediates were observed by controlled on-line ESI-HRMS experiments and identified by their corresponding mass (/) analysis.

A versatile gold(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 3-diazooxindoles with diazoesters has been presented, affording ()-3-alkylideneoxindoles stereoselectively. Density functional theory calculations rationalized the chemo- and stereoselectivity of the reaction, which was in good agreement with experimental observations. In addition, ()-3-alkylideneoxindoles were converted into their ()-isomers under UV-irradiation facilely, indicating the great advantage of this approach in stereoselective synthesis of both ()- and ()-3-alkylideneoxindoles.

Novel spirooxindole-pyrazolines and spirobenzofuranone-pyrazolines have been synthesized in good to excellent yields via the annulation reactions of the corresponding 3-alkylideneoxindoles and 3-alkylidenebenzofuranones with Huisgen zwitterions. The preliminary bioassay demonstrated that some of the spiropyrazolines possess good in vitro fungicidal activity against several crop fungi at a concentration of 50 μg mL(-1).

The mechanism of the title reaction is found to consist of three steps by DFT calculations: (1) N(2) dissociation, (2) intramolecular Ag-carbene addition, and (3) proton transfer. The N(2) dissociation is turnover determining. The product 3-alkylideneoxindole is favored in tautomerization with 3-acetyl-2-hydroxyindole.
