Abstract
An unexpected isomerization of azomethine ylides generated in situ from isatin with indoline-2-carboxylic acid has been disclosed, providing direct access to N-functionalized indole scaffolds. This protocol has good functional group tolerance and provides various 3-(1H-indol-1-yl)indolin-2-one derivatives in moderate to high yields simply by using alcohol as the solvent, with no additional additive being required.

Abstract
Brønsted acid- and/or Lewis acid-catalyzed selective C3-allylation and formal [3 + 2]-annulation of spiro-aziridine oxindoles with allylsilanes have been demonstrated to deliver direct access to 3-allyl-3-aminomethyl oxindoles and 5-silyl methyl spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3'-oxindoles], respectively. The acid-catalyzed methods do not provide any stereoselectivity when chiral spiroaziridines are used. However, the reaction of nonracemic sprioaziridines with allyl-Grignard reagent under catalyst-free conditions afforded 3-allyl-3-aminomethyl oxindoles with good stereoselectivity (ee up to 80%). The allylation protocol is utilized for the short synthesis of coerulescine and various 5'-substituted spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3'-oxindoles].

Abstract
Herein, we report the first dithiocarbamation of spiro-aziridine oxindoles involving regiospecific ring-opening by using in situ generated nucleophilic dithiocarbamates as an instant source of sulfur. This approach afforded C3-functionalised-3-thiooxindoles in good to excellent yields with a wide substrate scope under catalyst-free and mild reaction conditions. These compounds were screened for their anticancer activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines, wherein compound 3u exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against human lung cancer cells with an IC50 value of 4.31 ± 1.88 μM. Phase contrast microscopy as well as different staining assays such as acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB), DAPI and DCFDA demonstrated the induction of apoptosis in A549 lung cancer cells after treatment with compound 3u. In addition, the clonogenic assay and migration assay demonstrated the ability of compound 3u to inhibit colony formation and cell migration, respectively, in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
The N-sulfonyl spiroaziridine oxindole is a recently developed versatile precursor in the synthesis of a wide range of 3,3-disubstituted spirooxindoles. It is usually prepared in three steps from isatin and needs costly and hardly available sulfinimides and hazardous peracid. A sequential and one-pot direct strategy for the synthesis of terminal N-sulfonyl spiroaziridine oxindoles has been developed under ambient conditions with excellent yields (up to 95%) from easily accessible spiroepoxy oxindoles by regioselective amination with aqueous ammonia and a subsequent ring enclosure reaction of the resulting 1,2-amino alcohol using easily available sulfonyl chloride and a base. Other salient features of the protocol include inexpensive substrate requirement and the ease of isolation of the desired product by performing single column chromatographic purification after two consecutive steps.

Abstract
An expedient and transition-metal-free synthetic strategy has been developed for the construction of substituted indolizines from a unique combination of pyridinium salts and 2-bromoallyl sulfones. This approach does not compromise with the diverse substitutions on both the pyridinium salts and 2-bromoallyl sulfones. Wide substrate scope, operational simplicity, milder reaction conditions and good to moderate yields are the merits associated with the current approach. Moreover, this method provides two products which are amenable for the generation of a library of key indolizine building blocks.
