Synthesis of 1′-tetrazolylmethyl-spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3′-oxindoles] via two coupled one-pot processes Ugi-azide/Pictet–Spengler and oxidative spiro-rearrangement†
Abstract
Six novel tris-heterocycles 1′-tetrazolylmethyl-spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3′-oxindoles] were synthesized in 39–82% yields in two experimental steps: (i) a one-pot Ugi-azide/Pictet–Spengler process coupled to (ii) a one-pot oxidative spiro-rearrangement. The synthesized polyheterocycles could be used for further in vitro studies because they contain moieties present in various anticancer bioactive molecules and drugs.
