INTRODUCTION The development of new and efficient methods for synthesis of piperidinone derivatives represents an important research field because these piperidinone scaffolds showed the unique biological activities and served as valuable intermediates in organic synthesis.1,2 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones to the double bond of methylenecyclopropanes is one of the most extensively studied cycloaddition reactions due to the rich chemistry of 5-spirocyclopropane-isoxazoline cycloadducts formed in the reactions.3,4 5-Spirocyclopropane-isoxazolines could undergo Brandi-Guarna rearrangement to afford piperidin-4-ones or related compounds because of the highly strained spirocyclopropane ring.5 In 1989, Brandi and coworkers

found

that

(Z)-N-aryl

aldonitrones

and

4-spirocyclopropane-isoxazoline

and

5-spirocyclopropane-isoxazoline which could be converted to a mixture of enamine, piperidin-4-one and benzoazocinone (Scheme 1-A).6 A further study on the regioselective formation of 5-spirocyclopropane-isoxazoline and its 1,3- or 3,3-rearrangement was reported by Molchanov and coworkers (Scheme 1-B).7 The effect of substituted groups on both nitrones and methylenecyclopropanes to the N-O bond

was

studied.

Although

the

rearrangement

of

5-spirocyclopropane-isoxazoline has been studied, the yields and selectivities observed in the 1,3- and 3,3-rearrangement of 5-spirocyclopropane-isoxazoline are generally poor for N-aryl nitrones. During the studies on the rearrangement of N-O bond in our group,8 we envisaged that methylenecyclopropanes bearing an

5-spirocyclopropane-isoxazolines, which might undergo a controllable rearrangement process. Fluorenone nitrones are distinct from traditional nitrones because the rigidity and steric hindrance of the fluorene.9 This property can be exploited by N-O bond cleavage10 to afford spirofluorenylpiperidinones that exhibits privileged scaffolds present in bioactive pharmaceuticals and organic materials.11 Herein, we reported a facile synthesis of spirofluorenylpiperidin-4-ones in good yields from fluorenone nitrones and methylenecyclopropanes (MCP) (Scheme 1-C).

substrates for this reaction. As shown in Table 1, the desired cycloadduct 3a was isolated in excellent yield from a variety of different solvents, including toluene, 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), MeCN, THF, DMSO and MeOH following 18−24 h at 40 °C (Table 1, entries 1–6). Reducing the reaction temperature to room temperature led to an increase in the yield of 3a to 99%, albeit after extending the reaction time to 36 h (Table 1, entry 7). In contrast, increasing the reaction temperature to 60 °C led to a decrease in the yield of 3a (Table 1, entry 8). Furthermore, no product 3a was observed when the reaction was conducted at 80 °C, with the starting materials 1a and 2a being recovered unchanged (Table 1, entry 9). Table 1.

The filtrate was concentrated to give ylide as a white solid which was used directly without further purification for the next step. To a refluxing solution of ylide (10 mmol) and benzoic acid (122 mg, 10 mmol%) in benzene (50 mL) was added (1-ethoxycyclopropoxy)trimethylsilane (2 mL, 10 mmol) via syringe. After addition was completed, the mixture was allowed to reflux at 80 ºC for 18 h. And then cooling to room temperature, benzene was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography (the crude residue was dry loaded on silica gel; 1:100−1:20 ethyl acetate:petroleum ether) to afford methylenecyclopropane 2 as a colorless oil.
