Abstract: | A highly efficient one-pot procedure combining conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to (2-nitroalkenyl)indoles and sub-sequent Brønsted acid-assisted spirocyclization allowed for preparation of 4′H-spiro[indole-3,5′-isoxazoles] in a diastereomerically selective fashion. Utilization of alkyl Grignard reagents provided an easy access to 4′-alkylsubstituted derivatives hardly available by other means.One-pot procedure combining conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to (2-nitroalkenyl)indoles and subsequent acid-assisted spirocyclization allowed for diastereoselective preparation of 4′H-spiro[indole-3,5′-isoxazoles]. |
