A water mediated three-component reaction of isatin, 4-aminocoumarin, and 1,3-cyclodicarbonyl compounds is reported for the synthesis of spiro[chromeno[4,3-]cyclopenta[]pyridine-7,3'-indoline]trione and the spiro[chromeno[4,3-]quinoline 7,3'-indoline]trione. Up to 27 different spirooxindole derivatives were synthesized by this method. The bioactivity of these spirooxindole derivatives was evaluated and they were found to show antifungal activity against , , , and .

As one of the main fragments in medical drugs, spirooxindole has received considerable attention from organic and medicinal chemists. In the past few decades, chemists have been searching for more straightforward and efficient methods to produce compounds containing a spirooxindole fragment. In this regard, isatin-derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates have been widely used as versatile building blocks for the synthesis of spirooxindole structures.

These compounds are biosynthetically derived from a stereoselective Pictet-Spengler condensation that generates a tetrahydro-β-carboline scaffold characterized by a 3 stereocenter. However, a subset of MIAs contain a non-canonical 3 stereocenter.

Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed enantioselective formal (3+3) and (3+2) cycloaddition reaction of isatin-derived tertiary propargylic esters with N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid and 4-hydroxycoumarins, respectively. In this process, the tertiary propargylic ester serves as both C3- and C2-synthons, facilitating the synthesis of optically active spirooxindole-pyran and furan scaffolds featuring an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. The reaction delivers these spirocyclic frameworks in good yields with high enantioselectivities.

Although there have been various reviews on the asymmetric construction of C3-spirooxindoles, there is a scarcity of reviews focusing on the asymmetric organocatalytic synthesis of C3-spiro-cyclopentaneoxindole derivatives. This particular scaffold has garnered significant attention from synthetic chemists due to its relevance in medicinal chemistry. In this review, we provide an overview of recent advancements in the asymmetric organocatalytic synthesis of various C3-spiro-cyclopentaneoxindoles using organic catalysts.
