Asymmetric α-spirocyclopropanation of oxindoles and benzofuranones via dynamic kinetic resolution

Chiral benzo five-membered heterocyclic spirocyclopropanes are pharmacologically active scaffolds, but access to spiral rings with multiple stereocenters is challenging. Here, the authors report an organocatalytic one-pot cascade ether oxidation iminium-ion activation strategy for the asymmetric spi...

description Chiral benzo five-membered heterocyclic spirocyclopropanes are pharmacologically active scaffolds, but access to spiral rings with multiple stereocenters is challenging. Here, the authors report an organocatalytic one-pot cascade ether oxidation iminium-ion activation strategy for the asymmetric spirocyclopropylation of benzofuran-2-ones and indolin-2-ones with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity.
