Abstract
This study describes the synthesis of novel polycyclic spiropyrrolidine oxindoles through the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated in situ with 3-(arylmethylene)-indolin-2-ones. Effect of substituents of azomethine ylides and various dipolarophiles on reactivity, as well as on the products regio- and stereoselectivity was investigated.
