Cesium Carbonate Mediated Cyclization of Oxotryptamines with Allenoates: an Approach to Aza-Spiro[5.7]-cycloheptane Oxindole
2021
A new method was developed for the synthesis of spiro[azepane-4,3′-indol]-2′(1′H)-ones in yields of up to 96% with a broad substrate scope by using oxotryptamines as dual-nucleophilic reagents to react with allenoates in the presence of cesium carbonate under mild conditions. In accord with previous works and a deprotonation-tracing experiment, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.
