Molecular diversity of spirooxindoles. Synthesis and biological activity

Molecular Diversity volume 20, pages 299–344 (2016)Cite this article

Abstract

Spirooxindoles are important synthetic targets possessing extended biological activity and drug discovery applications. This review focuses on the various strategies for the enantioselective synthesis of spirocyclic oxindoles relying on reports over the past decade and from earlier work. The spirooxindoles in this review are separated into three structural classes, and then further categorized into the method type from which the spirocycle is generated.
