Study demonstrates DABCO-catalysed diastereoselective synthesis of 1,3-indandiones with nitrostyrenes, highlighting the formation of multiple chiral centres.
Highly functionalized 1,3-indandione containing spirocyclopentanes has been synthesized by reacting nitrostyrenes with 2-(2'-ketoalkyl)-1,3-indandiones using a catalytic amount of DABCO. The resultant products possess three consecutive chiral centres in addition to a spirocyclic centre and are obtained in a highly diastereoselective manner using a catalytic amount of the organic base, DABCO.
