INTRODUCTION Spiro heterocycles are prevalent in nature and possess pronounced biological activities.1 In particular, spirooxindolopyrrolidines/indolizines are found in many natural products and pharmaceutically active compounds.2 For instance, horsfiline, elacomine, gelsemine, formosanine, spirotryprotatins A and B, strychnofoline, rhynchophylline, and vincatine3 (Figure 1) are known for their wide range of biological activities. Apart from those of natural origin, many of the synthetic spiro oxindole−pyrrolidine hybrids have been reported to display anticancer,4 antimicrobial,5 antimycobacterial,6 anti-inflammatory, analgesic,7 local anesthetic,8 and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition activities.9 In addition spiro oxindole− pyrrolothiazole hybrids exhibit antitubercular,10 hepatoprotective,11 antidiabetic,12 anticonvulsant,13 antibiotic,14 and AChE inhibition activities,15 whereas spiro oxindole−indolizine hybrids are known for their antimicrobial,16 anti-HIV, antimycobacterial, anticancer, and AChE inhibition activities.17 The foregoing biological significances of spiro oxindole hybrids encouraged us to explore the feasibility of constructing hybrid heterocycles comprising a dispiro oxindole−pyrrolidine/ pyrrolothiazole/indolizine−dihydrothiophenone system. Incidentally, dihydrothiophene hybrids are known to display antimycobacterial,18 anticancer,19 antimalarial20 and porcupine inhibition21 activities. In spite of their significance, syntheses of spiro dihydrothiophenone derivatives have received little attention. We recently reported the assembly of novel 2thiaspiro[4.5]deca-6,8-dienes via an atom-efficient tandem protocol.22 In continuation, herein we report an easy access to novel dispiro dihydrothiophenone−oxindole hybrids 4−6 via a one-pot multicomponent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition strategy (Scheme 1).23 To the best of our knowledge, this is the first © 2017 American Chemical Society

report of the synthesis of dispiro dihydrothiophenone hybrid heterocycles 4−6.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Initially, the essential dipolarophiles, (2Z,4Z)-2,4-bis(arylidene)dihydrothiophen-3(2H)-ones 1{1−11}, were prepared by the base-catalyzed condensation of dihydrothiophen3(2H)-one with aromatic aldehydes following our earlier report.24 Our study commenced with a pilot experiment i n vo l vi n g r e fl u x in g a m i x t u r e o f 2 , 4 - b is ( ( Z ) - 4 chlorobenzylidene)dihydrothiophen-3(2H)-one (1{1}), isatin (2), and sarcosine (3{1}) in methanol, which led to the isolation of (Z)-5″-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-4′-(4-chlorophenyl)1′-methyl-2″H-dispiro[indoline-3,2′-pyrrolidine-3′,3″-thiophene]-2,4″(5″H)-dione (4{1,1}) as a single diastereoisomer in 71% yield after 7 h. The pilot reaction was also examined with solvents like EtOH, 1,4-dioxane, CH3CN, toluene, and MeOH/ 1,4-dioxane (4:1 v/v) under reflux (Table 1). From Table 1, MeOH/1,4-dioxane was found to be the optimum solvent mixture for this transformation, wherein an 81% yield of 4{1,1} was realized. With the optimized condition in hand, we then explored the scope of this cycloaddition with substituted dipolarophiles 1{1−11}, isatin 2, and α-amino acids 3{1−3} (Figure 2). All of these reactions occurred smoothly, affording single diasteroisomers of the dihydrothiophenone-engrafted dispiro heterocyclic hybrids 4−6 in 72−86% yield (Scheme 2 and Table 2).

were synthesized, with the aryl ring comprising electronreleasing or -withdrawing groups. The structures of 4−6 were elucidated using 1H, 13C, and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques, as illustrated for a representative example. In the 1H NMR spectrum of 4{3,1} (Figure 3), the H-5″ benzylidene proton appeared as a singlet at 7.25 ppm and showed a heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) with the carbonyl C-4″ at 201.0 ppm. The H-4′ proton appeared as doublets of doublets at 4.46 ppm (J = 10.2, 7.8 Hz). The diastereotopic 5′-CH2 protons appeared as a triplet and multiplet at 3.96 ppm (J = 9.6 Hz) and 3.44−3.53 ppm, respectively, and showed HMBCs with C-3 at 76.6 ppm and C-3′ at 65.3 ppm. The 2″-CH2 protons appeared as a doublet and multiplet at 2.47 ppm (J = 12.6 Hz) and 3.44−3.53 ppm, respectively. The singlets at 2.17, 2.30, and 2.31 ppm were due to the N-CH3 and methyl protons of the aryl rings, respectively. The NH proton gave a broad singlet at 7.68 ppm. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of 4{3,1} are shown in Figure 3. Similarly, the structures of all the dispiro

A plausible reaction pathway for the formation of dispiro dihydrothiophenone−oxindole hybrids 4−6 is depicted in Scheme 3. Initially, condensation of isatin and the α-amino acid forms spiro intermediate 7, which upon decarboxylation generates azomethine ylide 8 in situ. The subsequent reaction of 8 with dipolarophile 1 may occur via route A or B to afford the dispiro dihydrothiophenone−oxindole hybrid 4−6 or 9, respectively (Scheme 3). However, the exclusive formation of 4−6 in the cycloaddition reactions reveals that route A is preferred over route B. This selectivity may presumably be correlated to the electrostatic repulsion exerted between the carbonyls present in the same face during the approach of dipole 8 over dipolarophile 1 via route B. Moreover, the approach of 8 over 1 via route A places the carbonyls in the opposite face and hence overcomes the electrostatic repulsion. The above discussion is evidenced from the single-crystal X-ray studies of a representative product, 5{7,2} (Figure 4). The cycloadditions occurred chemoselectively on one of the two exocyclic CC bonds of 1 to furnish exclusively the dispiro dihydrothiophenone−oxindole hybrids 4−6. This is ascribable to the steric hindrance posed by these cycloadducts 4−6 for the second cycloaddition. In addition, the sulfur in thiophenes 1 in conjugation with the adjacent CC at C-2 may alter the polarity of the α,β-unsaturated CC bond, making it less reactive toward cycloaddition. Furthermore, the above cycloadditions were found to be regioselective, and the regioisomers of hybrids 4−6 were not observed in the reaction (Scheme 3). This may be rationalized from the fact that the electron-rich carbon of dipole 8 adds to the more electrondeficient β-carbon of α,β-unsaturated 1. The regiochemistry was apparent from the 1H NMR data for these cycloadducts 4− 6. Also the above cycloadditions create up to four new contiguous stereocenters in the products in a single transformation. However, all of the reactions proceeded diastereoselectively, leading to the formation of a single diastereoisomer of the product 4−6. With the intention to further explore the utility of (2Z,4Z)2,4-bis(arylidene)dihydrothiophen-3(2H)-ones 1{1−11} as dipolarophiles, the four-component reaction of 1, 3, ninhydrin (10) and o-phenylenediamines 11 was investigated.

reaction under the previously optimized conditions (Table 1) led to the formation of novel dispiro dihydrothiophenone− indenoquinoxaline−pyrrolidine or pyrrolothiazole hybrids 12 or 13, respectively (Scheme 4). The cycloadditions were

effected by refluxing the reactants in a 4:1 methanol/dioxane mixture for 3 h. In each case, after the completion of the reaction as evidenced by TLC, the reaction mixture was poured into water to get pure 12 or 13 as a yellow solid. All of the reactions proceeded well, affording near-quantitative yields of the products, notably without the need of any purification methods such as crystallization or column chromatography (Table 3). However, the reaction failed to occur in the case of pipecolic acid (3{3}). The structures of all of the cycloadducts 12 and 13 were elucidated with the help of 1H, 13C, and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies, as detailed for 13{3,2,1} as a representative example (see the Supporting Information). Similar to the previous case (Scheme 3), all of these cycloadditions proceeded chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectively, affording single isomers of the products 12 and 13 in excellent yields. The complete stereochemical assignments of 12 and 13 were made on the basis of our earlier report.26 A plausible reaction pathway for the formation of cycloadducts 12 and 13 is proposed in Scheme 5. Initially the reaction of ninhydrin 10 and o-phenylenediamine 11 may presumably form intermediate ketone 14 or 14A.

Isolated yields after filtration.

However, on the basis of literature reports, the formation of intermediate 14A in this reaction is ruled out.27 Intermediate ketone 14 reacts with α-amino acid 3 to generate azomethine ylide 15 via decarboxylative condensation. Subsequently, the electron-rich carbon of dipole 15 adds to the electron-deficient β-carbon of the α,β-unsaturated dipolarophile 1 to afford the product 12 or 13. The regiochemistry was also confirmed from the 1H NMR spectrum of the products 12 and 13.

All of the cycloadditions occurred chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectively to yield single isomers of the products. In addition, the generation of up to four new contiguous stereocenters and the formation of two C−C bonds and one C−N bond in a single transformation were observed. The relatively simple protocol offers a facile entry to these biologically relevant classes of hybrid heterocycles in good to excellent yields.
