Chemoselective Double Michael Addition: Synthesis of 2,6-Diarylspiro[Cyclohexane-1,3′-Indoline]-2′,4-Diones via Addition of Indolin-2-One to Divinyl Ketones
Seventeen examples of 2,6-diarylspiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-indoline]-2′4-diones were efficiently prepared by the Cs2CO3-catalysed chemoselective double Michael additions of indolin-2-one to divinyl ketones. This method has the advantage of high chemoselectivity, mild reaction conditions, high yield and atom- and step-economy.
