Abstract
3-Alkylidene-2-oxindoles are highly reactive intermediates in several key organic reactions. In Michael addition, they readily react with nucleophiles to form carbon-carbon bonds. In multicomponent reactions, they enable the efficient assembly of complex polycyclic structures. Their involvement in cycloaddition reactions facilitates the formation of biologically active, fused ring systems. Enantioselective reactions with 3-alkylidene-2-oxindoles provide chiral molecules with high stereochemical control, crucial for drug development. Additionally, they participate in metal- and radical-mediated C–H functionalization, enabling direct modification of C–H bonds for efficient functionalization in complex molecule synthesis. In this review, we discuss about diverse reactions of 3-alkylidene-2-oxindoles (Mainly Michael addition, multicomponent domino reaction, cycloaddition reaction, enantioselective transformations, C–H functionalization reaction drived by transition metal and radical) that may provide as a section of consistent literature for further research.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
