Abstract
Abstract The spiro[pyrrolidine‐3,3′‐oxindole] ring system is found at the core of a number of alkaloids, which possess significant biological activity and are interesting, challenging targets for chemical synthesis. In the present review, we report on the different strategies for the synthesis of the spiro[pyrrolidine‐3,3′‐oxindole] ring system in the context of recent synthesis of coerulescine, horsfiline, elacomine, salacin, pteropodine, alstonisine, spirotryprostatin A and B, and strychnofoline.

2,217 Citations1976Jack E. Baldwin
The endocyclic closure of nucleophilic centres to polarized double bonds to give five-membered rings is impeded by restrictions of geometry; these restrictions can be overcome in acid through the generation of oxonium or protonated forms.
