NHC-promoted O- to C-carboxyl transfer of 3-allyl indolyl phenyl carbonates generates 3-allyl-3-phenoxycarbonyl-oxindoles with good catalytic efficiency, which are readily converted into (±)-N-benzyl-coerulescine and (±)-horsfiline.
Concise synthesis of (±)-horsfiline and (±)-coerulescine by tandem cyclisation of iodoaryl alkenyl azides

A brief, efficient and economical synthesis of the spiropyrrolidinyloxindoles, horsfiline and coerulescine, has been achieved, starting from itaconic acid and, respectively, p-anisidine or o-iodoaniline. Tandem radical cyclisation of iodoaryl alkenyl azides is the key step in both syntheses.
Efficient synthesis of (±)-horsfiline through the MgI2-catalyzed ring- expansion reaction of a spiro[cyclopropane-1,3'-indol]-2'-one

We report a short synthetic route to (±)-horsfiline that provides the racemate in five steps from commercially available, substituted isatin in 41% overall yield. Efficient entry into the spiro[oxindole-pyrrolidine] ring system is possible through the application of the cyclopropane opening/ring expansion chemistry we have described with MgI2 as a bifunctional catalyst.
