The present study reports an asymmetric organocatalytic cascade reaction of oxindole derivates with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes efficiently catalyzed by simple chiral secondary amine. Spirooxindole-fused cyclopentanes were produced in excellent isolated yields (up to 98%) with excellent enantiopurities (up to 99% ee) and moderate to high diastereoselectivities. The synthetic utility of the protocol was exemplified on a set of additional transformations of the corresponding spiro compounds. In addition, a study showing the promising biological activity of selected enantioenriched products was accomplished.

We disclose a nickel/Br?nsted acid-catalyzed tandem process consisting of double bond isomerization of allyl ethers and amines and subsequent intramolecular reaction with nucleophiles. The process is accomplished by [(Me3P)4NiH]N(SO2CF3)2 in the presence of triflic acid. The methodology provides rapid access to tetrahydropyran-fused indoles and other oxacyclic scaffolds under very low catalyst loadings.

By changing the dimethylamino to a nitro group, a novel synthetic access to the spirocyclic opioid analgesic cebranopadol was developed that is much more efficient compared with the established route. On the basis of the α-acidity of α-nitrotoluene, the two-fold Michael addition to acrylate gave an acyclic precursor compound, which was easily transformed by Dieckmann condensation and decarboxylation to the cyclohexanone derivative needed for the annulation of the indole ring by an oxa-Pictet-Spengler reaction. As an additional benefit, the reduction of the nitro group furnished an amine, which could be late-stage-diversified to carboxamides, sulfonamides, ureas, and N-alkyl congeners. The transformation of the nitro group at the spirocyclic scaffold to the dimethylamino function of the actual title compound was achieved in one step with zinc/formic acid/formaldehyde in 83% yield.
