A green one-pot three-component synthesis of spirooxindoles under conventional heating conditions or microwave irradiation by using Fe3O4@SiO2-imid-PMAn magnetic porous nanospheres as a recyclable catalyst

An efficient, green and environmentally procedure for the synthesis of spirooxindole derivatives has been developed by a one-pot three-component reaction of isatin derivatives, activated methylene, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of Fe3O4@SiO2-imid-PMAn magnetic nanocatalyst under conventional heating conditions in water or microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions.260
