chiral pyrrolidines and pyrrolizidines with spirooxindole ring systems are the central skeletons for numerous alkaloids and pharmacologically important compounds. gelesmine, pseudotabersonine, formosanine, isoformosanine, morroniside and mitraphylline are some of the alkaloids containing spirooxindole ring systems. derivatives of spirooxindole find very wide biological applications as anti micr...

The enantioselective preparation of pharmacologically interesting chroman-fused spirooxindole derivatives is described based on an organocatalytic multicomponent cascade reaction. The compounds synthesized using this method potently inhibited the proliferation of various cancer cell lines. The most potent compound (7e) induced caspase-independent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 breast ...

Three coumarin derivatives, viz. 6-methyl-N-(3-methyl-phen-yl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO3 (1), N-(3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO4 (2), and 6-meth-oxy-N-(3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO5 (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized. The mol-ecules display intra-molecular N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bo...

Chromene is considered a fused pyran ring with benzene ring, which found in many plants and part of important compounds such as anthocyanidins, anthocyanins, catechins, flavanones. These are included under the headings "flavonoids" "iso-flavonoids." well known bioactive molecules wide medicinal uses. According to these pharmacokinetic characteristics, researchers giving more attention this type...

The ubiquitous presence of spirooxindole architectures with several functionalities and stereogenic centers in bioactive molecules has been appealing for the development of novel methodologies seeking their preparation in high yields and selectivities. Expansion and refinement in the field of asymmetric organocatalysis have made possible the development of straightforward strategies that addres...

A stereoselective cyclization between alkylidene oxindoles and 5-methoxyoxazoles has been developed using catalytic titanium(IV) chloride (as low as 5 mol %) to afford spiro[3,3'-oxindole-1-pyrrolines] in excellent yield (up to 99%) and diastereoselectivity (up to 99:1). Using a chiral scandium(III)-indapybox/BArF complex affords enantioenriched spirooxindole-1-pyrrolines where a ligand-induced...

A one-pot procedure was developed for the synthesis of novel 3-[amino(methoxy)methylene]-2-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-4-yl)-3-cyanoacetamides and chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles from the reaction of 2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbonitriles and cyanoacetamides. These chromene derivatives were identified as new scaffolds for adenosine receptors and the hits 3a, 3c, 5a, and 5b were found.

A convenient and efficient method for the constructions of 3-spirooxindole derivatives or 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles has been developed from one-pot reactions of isatins, hydrazides or aromatic amines, 2-(bromomethyl)acrylic ester and tin powder in the presence of a catalytic amount of Brønsted or Lewis acid. The method avoids the use of toxic stannanes and allows easy operation. It is also p...
