Green and Facile Synthesis of Spirocyclopentanes Through NaOH-Promoted Chemo- and Diastereo-Selective (3 + 2) Cycloaddition Reactions of Activated Cyclopropanes and Enamides

A chemo- and diastereo-selective (3 + 2) cycloaddition reacition between Donor-Acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes and α,β-unsaturated enamides is developed for efficient access to spiro(cyclopentane-1,3'-indoline) derivatives. Simple, inexpensive and readily available NaOH is used as the sole catalys...
