Abstract

The reactions of vinyl malononitriles with 3-phenacylideneoxindoles in ethanol in the presence of DBU as base resulted in the functionalized spirocyclic oxindoles through the domino Michael addition and intramolecular nucleophilic addition to cyano group. On the other hand, the similar reaction in the presence of piperidine as base afforded the simple Michael addition products in good yields. The stereochemistry of the spirooxindoles was established with (1)H NMR data and single crystal structures.
