ChemInform Abstract: Base-Catalyzed Controllable Reaction of 3-Ylideneoxindoles with O-Boc Hydroxycarbamates for the Synthesis of Amidoacrylates and Spiroaziridine Oxindoles

A base-catalyzed divergent reaction of 3-ylideneoxindoles with O-Boc hydroxycarbamates has been developed to provide efficient access to various amidoacrylates and spiroaziridine oxindoles with generally high yields, which should be potentially useful in drug discovery.
