Abstract
The first diastereo- and enantiodivergent asymmetric synthesis of new bis-spirocyclopropyloxindole scaffolds has been accomplished from the readily available isatin as a single starting material. Four rel-(1R,2R,3R), rel-(1S,2S,3R), rel-(1R,2R,3S), and rel-(1S,2S,3S) configurations of desired products were constructed in excellent enantiopurity via a simple switch in substrates using the chiral auxiliary-controlled method. The absolute configuration of cycloadducts with three contiguous quaternary/tertiary stereogenic centers was confirmed through X-ray diffraction analysis. A facile synthesis of versatile precursor 3-chlorooxindoles was also introduced.
