Abstract: The ammonium-tethered pyrrolidine-based organocatalyst catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition/cyclization reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with 3-hydroxyoxindole in aqueous media was developed, giving the spirooxidole lactones high yields enantioselectivities. Background: 3-hydroxyoxindoles α,β- unsaturated is an important method for synthesis chiral spirooxindole derivatives, which are found a wide range biologically active natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Objective: Organocatalyzed reactions one most powerful effective approaches construction complex molecules from relatively simple starting materials. However, major problem associated these organocatalytic system that catalyst loading organic solvents required. In present work, our objective to develop water-compatible aimed at lowering being system. Methods: typical experiment, To solution 2a (0.008 mmol) PhCO2H (0.096 0.5 mL mixture solvent iPrOH/H2O (1:3) added aldehyde (0.4 (0.8 mmol). proceeded room temperature 16 hours, then extracted 10 dichloromethane give cyclized hemiacetal, subjected direct oxidation pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC, 1.2 hours desired lactones. Results: successfully gave excellent (81-95%) moderate enantioselectivities (up 99% ee). diastereoselectivities were poor ranging 1:1.1 1:2.3. Conclusion: using has been developed. performed low (2 mol%) provided (ee: up 99%).
