Abstract

A simple and convenient multi-component domino reaction has been described for the synthesis of novel spirofuran-indenoquinoxaline derivatives. Products were obtained by a three-component condensation reaction between ninhydrin, aromatic 1,2-diamines and dialkyl ethynedicarboxylates in the presence of a catalytic amount of triphenylphosphine in $$\hbox {CH}_{2}\hbox {Cl}_{2}$$ at ambient temperature in excellent yields. This one-pot process produces biologically and pharmacologically significant heterocycles with the formation of five new bonds (one C–C, two C=N and two C–O) and two new rings in a single operation.
