A facile synthetic approach to novel spiro-oxindoles/acenaphthylen-1-ones containing benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one ring via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition

A series of spiro-oxindole derivatives containing spirobenzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one ring were synthesized regioselectively via a multicomponent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of isatin, 2-(4-methyl-benzylidene)-4H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one and sarcosine or l-proline in toluene under reflux condition. Also spiro-acenaphthylen-1-ones containing spirobenzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one ring have been synthesized using 2-(4-methyl-benzylidene)-4H-benzo[1,4]thiazin-3-one as dipolarophile. The methodology affords high yields of products in short reaction time.
