Copper(i) catalyzed diastereoselective multicomponent synthesis of spiroindolo-pyrrolidines/-imidazolidines/-triazolidines from diazoamides via azomethine ylides†
Abstract
Investigations of regio-, chemo- and diastereoselective studies on three- as well as four-component reactions using diazooxindoles, imines, aldehydes, amines, alkenes, alkynes or diazenes in the presence of copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate are performed to furnish spiroindolo-pyrrolidine/-imidazolidine/-triazolidine ring systems in good yields. A mixture of products was obtained when unsymmetrical alkenes were used as dipolarophiles. This study demonstrates the successful generation of intermolecular azomethine ylides from copper(I) carbenoids and their subsequent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions with various dipolarophiles, such as olefins (C![[double bond, length as m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif)
C), imines (CN), diazenes (NN) in a stereoselective manner. Single-crystal X-ray analyses were performed to establish unambiguously the structure and stereochemistry of spiroheterocyclic ring systems.
