The oxindole skeleton has been recognized as a ubiquitous heterocycle found in bioactive natural products and synthetic compounds with medicinal applications. In particular, 3-substituted and spiro oxindole derivatives have been implicated in a wide spectrum of biological activities including serotonergic, anti-tumor, anti-Alzheimer’s, anti-Parkinson disease, glycoprotein-mediated MDR inhibition, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. Additionally, oxindoles serve as synthetic precursors to a range of other heterocyclic compounds including indoles and isatins. Therefore, the development of novel and highly efficient strategies for the formation of oxindole architectures is an area of great interest in organic synthesis. With recent advances in direct and catalytic C&ndas... view more»
