Multi-component, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions for the chemo-, regio- and stereoselective synthesis of novel hybrid spiroheterocycles in ionic liquid

A library of novel 1-methyl-4-arylpyrrolo-(spiro[2.2′]indan-1′,3′-dione)-spiro[3.3″]-1″-methyl/benzyl-5″-(arylmethylidene)piperidin-4″-ones and 1-methyl-4-arylpyrrolo-(spiro[2.11′]-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline)-spiro[3.3″]-1″-methyl/benzyl-5″-(arylmethylidene)piperidin-4″-ones have been synthesized via 1,3-dipolar azomethine ylide cycloaddition in the ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BMIm]Br), in excellent yields.
