Abstract

Spirocyclic oxindoles have been coined priviledged targets due to their common occurence in natural products and clinical pharmaceuticals.[1, 2] The key structural characteristic of these compounds is the spiro-ring fusion at the 3-position of the oxindole, which gives increasing molecular complexity and significant biological activities, including insecticidal, antitumor, anthelmintic, and antibacterial properties.[3] For example, the most notable ...
