An expedient domino three-component [3+2]-cycloaddition/annulation protocol: regio- and stereoselective assembly of novel polycyclic hybrid heterocycles with five contiguous stereocentres

Azomethine Ylides-Versatile Synthons for Pyrrolidinyl-Heterocyclic Compounds

Azomethine ylides are nitrogen-based three-atom components commonly used in [3+2]-cycloaddition reactions with various unsaturated 2π-electron components. These reactions are highly regio- and stereoselective and have attracted the attention of organic chemists with respect to the construction of diverse heterocycles potentially bearing four new contiguous stereogenic centers. This review article complies the most important [3+2]-cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides with various olefinic, unsaturated 2π-electron components (acyclic, alicyclic, heterocyclic, and exocyclic ones) reported over the past two decades.

Efficient catalytic application of a binary ionic liquid mixture in the synthesis of novel spiro[4H-pyridine-oxindoles]

Novel pyrazole-fused spiro[4H-pyridine-oxindoles] were synthesized under the catalysis of the binary ionic liquid mixture [1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium chloride][1-methylimidazolium-3-sulfonate] in solvent-free conditions.

One-Pot Access to a Library of Dispiro Oxindole-pyrrolidine/pyrrolothiazole-thiochromane Hybrids via Three-Component 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions

A library of novel dispiro compounds containing oxindole pyrrolidine/oxindolopyrrolothiazole-thiochroman-4-one hybrid frameworks has been synthesized in a fully regio- and stereoselective fashion by the three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated in situ from the condensation of isatins and secondary amino acids (sarcosine/l-thioproline) with 3-arylidenethiochroman-4-ones. This experimentally simple protocol provides good yields of structurally complex, biologically relevant heterocycles in a single operation.

Ultrasound-assisted sequential multicomponent strategy for the combinatorial synthesis of novel coumarin hybrids

The present investigation reports an easy access to a library of novel spiro-oxindole-pyrrolizine or pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole fused coumarin hybrid heterocycles through a one-pot sequential four-component reactions of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione, salicylaldehydes, isatins, and cyclic α-amino acids under ultrasound irradiation.
