Abstract
A facile, multicomponent (MCR) atom-economic synthesis of novel spiro-oxindolo pyrrolizidine adducts of piperine has been achieved via an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar azomethine ylide cycloaddition reaction. Either of the two conjugated double bonds in piperine takes part in the reaction to produce two regioisomeric adducts in racemic form. Acenaphthoquinone, ninhydrin and different isatin derivatives were reacted with proline and piperine to afford a never before reported library of 22 compounds. The structures of the products were determined by 1D/2D NMR, mass spectral analysis and confirmed by X-ray crystallography of selected products. Chiral HPLC separation was performed to measure the specific rotation and CD spectra of the enantiomers for two racemic compounds.
