Base-Catalyzed Reaction of Isatins and (3-Hydroxyprop-1-yn-1-yl)phosphonates as a Tool for the Synthesis of Spiro-1,3-dioxolane Oxindoles with Anticancer and Anti-Platelet Properties.

An approach to the synthesis of phosphoryl substituted spiro-1,3-dioxolane oxindoles was developed from the base-catalyzed reaction of various isatins with (3-hydroxyprop-1-yn-1-yl)phosphonates. It was found that various aryl-substituted and N-functionalized isatins with the formation of appropriate products with high yields and stereoselectivity when using t-BuOLi are able to react. Cytotoxic activity evaluation suggests that the most significant results in relation to the HuTu 80 cell line were shown by N-benzylated spirodioxolanes. 5-Cloro-N-unsubstituted spirooxindoles exhibit antiaggregational activity exceeding the values of acetylsalicylic acid.
