Abstract

Spirooxindoles represent a special scaffold for pharmaceuticals and natural products, and significant advancements have been achieved in their synthesis in recent years. Among these, transition metal catalysis, particularly copper catalysis, has emerged as an efficient and reliable method for the synthesis of spirooxindoles. Based on different reaction types, two distinct substrate types have been summarized and classified by us for constructing spirooxindole scaffolds via intramolecular and intermolecular annulations. This review outlines the latest advancements in copper-catalyzed cyclization reactions for synthesizing spirooxindoles and provides detailed insights into the types of annulation reactions and their possible reaction mechanisms.
