Synthesis of spirooxindoles bearing 2,3-(or 2,5-)dihydrothiophene-2-thione moiety via [3+2] annulation of carbon disulfide with Morita-Baylis -Hillman carbonates of isatins

摘要

Various spirooxindoles bearing 2,3-(or 2,5-)dihydrothiophene-2-thione moiety have been synthesized via [3+2] annulation reaction of carbon disulfide and the nitrogen ylides derived from Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates of isatins. 2,3-Dihydro- and 2,5-dihydrothiophene-2-thione moieties were formed selectively depending on steric hindrance around the nitrogen ylides.
