Domino Reactions Enable Zn-Mediated Direct Synthesis of Spiro-Fused 2-Oxindole-α-Methylene-γ-Butyrolactones/Lactams from Isatin Derivatives and 2-(Bromomethyl)acrylates

Isatin-derived spirocyclic cores are found in several biologically active molecules. Here, we report nucleophilic domino reactions for the synthesis of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone/lactam containing spirocyclic oxindoles. The Zn-mediated one-step reaction accommodates a range of substrates and can be...
