A series of novel phthalimide analogs containing an indole or brominated indole moiety were synthesized and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated. Compound 8 showed a broad spectrum activity, revealing 53–67% of erythromycin activity on the tested ba

(Chemical Equation Presented). Reported here are methods for the direct construction of a range of spirocyclized oxindoles and indolenines in good to excellent yields. Specifically, we report the palladium-catalyzed reactions of oxindoles and indoles, both functioning as bis-nucleophiles, with propargyl carbonates to afford spirocyclic products having an exocyclic double bond on the newly formed ring. The reaction proceeds through a process wherein the first nucleophilic unit on the oxindole or indole reacts with an allenyl-palladium species, formed from oxidative addition of Pd(0) to propargyl carbonates, to generate a π-allyl palladium intermediate that then reacts further with the second nucleophilic component of the oxindole or indole. The cascade process forges two bonds en route to spirocyclized oxindole and indolenine products. The use of chiral phosphines renders the cyclization sequence enantioselective, providing spirocyclic products with modest to good enantioselectivities.
