Novel, one-pot, three-component route to indol-3-yl substituted spirooxindole derivatives

Abstract

A simple and efficient approach to the synthesis of a novel series of polysubstituted 6'-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1',7'-dihydrospiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine]-2-one derivatives in high yields was developed from a one-pot, three-component reaction of 3-cyanoacetyl indoles, isatins, and 1H-pyrazol-5-amines in H(2)O/HOAc.
