Efficient construction of spirocyclic azaoxindoles via double Michael addition reaction using phase-transfer catalysis
摘要
The double Michael addition reaction is a highly effective approach for constructing spirocyclic compounds, which frequently occur in nature and exhibit biological activity. In this study, the double Michael addition reaction of 7-azaoxindole with dienones was explored using tetrabutylammonium bromide as a catalyst. The target spirocyclic azaoxindoles were obtained in moderate to high yields.
