Abstract
Two substrate-controlled regiodivergent annulation protocols for 2,3-dioxopyrrolidines with 3-alkylidene oxindoles have been developed, which furnished a series of fused dihydropyrrolidone derivatives in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. Plausible mechanistic pathways for both annulation reactions are proposed that [3 + 3] annulation reaction involves vinylogous Michael addition followed by intramolecular aldol cyclization, while [4 + 2] annulation reaction occurs through a vinylogous Michael addition and a subsequent intramolecular oxa-Michael cyclization.
