A novel one-pot green synthesis of dispirooxindolo-pyrrolidines via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides.

ABSTRACT: A facile synthesis of dispirooxindolopyrrolidines has been accomplished via a one-pot three component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The reaction of azomethine ylides generated in situ from L-phenylalanine and substituted isatins with a series of unusual (E)-2-oxoindolino-3-ylidene acetophenone dipolarophiles in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [bmim]BF4, furnished the cycloadducts in good yields, with the regioisomers 5a-f being obtained with high selectivity. Furthermore, the recyclability of [bmim]BF4, up to five times, was also investigated.
