Abstract

In the presence of Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 (2.5 mol%), PPh3 (10 mol%), and 60% NaH (1.5 equiv), the formal [5+3] cycloaddition between isatin-based α-(trifluoromethyl)imines and vinyloxiranes proceeded readily in 1,2-DCE at 40 ℃ and afforded cis-configured medium-heterocycle-fused spirooxindoles in the reasonable chemical yields with >20:1 dr. The relative stereochemical configuration of the title products was identified by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Key words

[5+3] cycloaddition - isatin-based α-(trifluoromethyl)imine - vinyloxirane - spirooxindole - diastereoselectivity

  • 10 Typical Procedure and Characterization Data for 3ba A mixture of isatin-based α-(trifluoromethyl)imine 1 (1.0 equiv, 0.1 mmol), vinyloxirane 2 (1.5 equiv, 0.15 mmol), Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 (2.5 mol%), PPh3 (10.0 mol%), and 60% NaH (1.5 equiv, 0.15 mmol) in 1,2-DCE (1.0 mL) was stirred at 40 ℃ for 3 h. After the reaction was completed as indicated by TLC plate, the solvent was removed by evaporation and the resulted crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/EtOAc, 6:1 to 10:1) to afford cis-configured 3ba.
