We report an unusual face selective reduction of the exocyclic double bond in the α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone motif of spiro-oxindole systems. The spiro-oxindoles were assembled by an indium metal mediated Barbier-type reaction followed by an acid catalyzed lactonization.

A general and direct strategy for the synthesis of chiral spiro-aziridine oxindoles has been developed via an aza-Corey-Chaykovsky reaction of isatin-derived N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines with excellent selectivity (dr = 98:2 to >99:1). The method is explored for the synthesis of chiral 3-substituted spiro-aziridine oxindoles with high (2S,3S)-selectivity over (2S,3R).

the reaction of bis[4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl]-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (curcumin) and two novel ligands of bis[4-tetrabenzylglucose-3-methoxyphenyl]-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (bis(tetrabenzylglucose)curcumin) (btbgc) and bis[4-tetraacetylglucose-3-methoxyphenyl]-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (bis(tetraacetylglucose)curcumin) (btagc) with vanadium in methanol, in a 2:1 molar ratio, which yield the co...

The title compound, C(27)H(40)O(4), was obtained from the oxidation of (25R)-3b-hydr-oxy-5a-spiro-stan-12-one (Hecogenin) by Jone's reagent. The mol-ecule contains six alicyclic and heterocyclic rings, all trans-fused, among which four six-membered rings adopt similar chair conformations while two five-membered rings assume an envelope conformation.

We have developed a simple methodology to transform cis-syn-cis-triquinane derivative 2 into the diindole based macrocycle 6 involving Fischer indolization and ring-closing metathesis (RCM). Various spiro-polyquinane derivatives have been assembled via RCM as a key step.

Among the new generation photovoltaics, perovskite solar cell (PSC) technology reached top efficiencies in a few years. Currently, main objective to further develop PSCs is related fabrication of stable devices with cost-effective materials and reliable processes achieve possible industrialization pathway. In n-i-p device configuration, hole transporting material (HTM) used most highly doped or...

Four high triplet organic semi-conductors based on the donor-spiro-acceptor design (D-spiro-A) have been synthesized. Their physicochemical and photophysical properties have been studied, compared and discussed in light of the nature of their respective donor/acceptor units. The four compounds have been used as host materials in efficient sky-blue (EQE 4 10% at 10 mA cm ) phosphorescent organic...

In the title spiro-indeno-quinoxaline compound, C(22)H(14)N(6)O·C(2)H(6)O, the five-membered ring of the indene unit and the pyran ring are perpendicular [89.11 (3)°]. In the crystal, N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the spiro-indeno-quinoxaline mol-ecules, and the ethanol solvent mol-ecules complete the hydrogen-bond network via O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O inter-actions.
